RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25899 to increase the hours of one (1) Registered Nurse (VWXG) position #18029 at salary plan and grade L32-1880 ($10,398 - $12,986) from part-time (32/40) to full-time (40/40) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an approximate annual cost increase of $47,397, with pension costs of $18,381 already included. This position is fully funded by the County General Fund allocation.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Detention facilities have experienced a significant increase in workload due to administering ongoing COVID-19 testing, vaccinations, and boosters for inmate patients and staff as well as increased workload in provider and patients requests. There has been a high demand for nurses to work within the detention facilities to help with the increased workload. Increasing the work hours of this position and its incumbent, will assist on alleviating the increased workload and decrease overtime shifts.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the nurses within the Detention facilities will not have the immediate means to alleviate the increased workload.
