RECOMMENDATION(S):

Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22006 to decrease the hours of the vacant Occupational Therapist II (V5VH) position #8546 from 9/40 to 2/40 at salary level TC5-1746 ($6,521 - $7,927) and increase the hours of Occupational Therapist I (V5VG) position #14887 from 35/40 to 40/40 at salary level TC5-1651 ($5,963 - $7,215) and Physical Therapist I (V5VE) position #8593 from 38/40 to 40/40 at salary level TC5-1651 in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, annual savings of approximately $42, which includes estimated pension costs of $10, are expected.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to decrease the hours of vacant Occupational Therapist II position #8546 to offset the costs to increase of hours of Occupational Therapist I position #14887 and Physical Therapist I position #8593 from 35/40 to 40/40 and 38/40 to 40/40 respectively. The incumbents have been working the increased hours for the past six months to prevent mandatory overtime and these hours are certified by the manager as being operationally necessary to continue the mandated functions of the department, to ensure client care at the California Children's Services program within the Public Health Division.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Public Health Division's California Children's Services of the Health Services Department will not have adequate staffing to meet the demand and volume of client care for those we serve.
