RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/498 directing the Human Resources Department to adjust and maintain affected job classifications on the Salary Schedule in alignment with the State of California's minimum wage.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of this action will be absorbed by the Departments who utilize impacted job classifications.

BACKGROUND:

On December 5, 2017, Resolution 2017/396 was adopted providing approval to the Human Resources Department to reallocate identified job classification salaries to be in alignment with the State of California's minimum wage for the period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2022. Annually, the State of California has revised the State minimum wage in response to previous year inflation rates. Historically rates have been set as follows:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

$11.00 effective January 1, 2018
$12.00 effective January 1, 2019
$13.00 effective January 1, 2020
$14.00 effective January 1, 2021
$15.00 effective January 1, 2022
$15.50 effective January 1, 2023

Although the County is not subject to the State minimum wage law, the Board of Supervisors has previously provided its approval to pay County employees in step with the State's minimum wage.

Annually, Human Resources reviews all classifications to identify impacted positions and make appropriate adjustments to be effective as of January 1 of the following calendar year. For all future changes to California's minimum wage, the department is seeking approval to implement minimum wage updates as they become law.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to stay current with the annual State of California Wage laws will impact the County's ability to recruit and retain its workforce due to its inability to remain competitive with other employers within Contra Costa County and its surrounding areas.
