RECOMMENDATION(S):

Adopt Resolution No. 2021/58 directing the Human Resources Department to reallocate the salary on the salary schedules for WEX Trainee (XSK2) (unrepresented) and Title V Trainee (XSK1) (unrepresented) classifications to be in line with the adjusted wage reimbursements for Contra Costa Works (CCWORKS) Subsidized Employment Program participants approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 2, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, the cost of this action will be absorbed by the Department who utilize these classifications.

BACKGROUND:

On June 2, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved the Employment and Human Services Department to reimburse employers participating in the Contra Costa Works (CCWORKS) Subsidized Employment Program no less than $14.00 per hour but not to exceed $20.00 per hour for those CalWORKs participants work sited during the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. The WEX and Title V Trainee classifications salary schedules consist of two (2) salary steps. In order to remain in line with the new wage reimbursement amounts, the salary schedules will be reallocated to reflect the new range with step 1 being set at $14.00 per hour with $1.00 incremental steps up to final step of $20.00.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval, the CCWORKS program participants will have fewer employment opportunities, continue reliance on public benefits, and will not receive a comparable wage to those workers performing the same or like duties at the worksite.
