RECOMMENDATION(S):

Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25600 to increase the hours of one (1) Pediatrician-Hospitalist - Exempt (VPS0) in salary plan and grade 1PX 1006 ($15,253.33 - $17,333.33) and incumbent in position number 7779 from part-time (31/40) to full-time (40/40) in the Health Services Department; and increase the hours of one (1) Pediatrician-Ambulatory - Exempt (VPS9) in salary plan and grade 1PX 1009 ($16,674.75 - $19,083.33) and incumbent in position number 9037 from part-time (35/40) to full-time (40/40) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Increasing the hours of the Pediatrician-Hospitalist - Exempt from part-time (31/40) to full-time will cost an additional $69,961.77 annually which includes $17,840.06 in pension costs.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

Increasing the hours of the Pediatrician-Ambulatory - Exempt from from part-time (35/40) to full-time will cost an additional $38,038.43 annually which includes $6,466.47 in pension costs.

BACKGROUND:

In January 2020, the department's Ambulatory Care Provider-Exempt with the California Children Services Program retired from the County. By increasing the hours of the Pediatrician-Hospitalist - Exempt, the incumbent is able to assume some responsibilities and duties the were previously performed by the Ambulatory Care Provider-Exempt.

Increasing the work hours of the Pediatrician-Ambulatory - Exempt from from part-time (35/40) to full-time will allow the incumbent to devote additional time to clinical tasks and responsibilities.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If these work hours are not increased to full-time, the Health Services Department will be unable to shift critical pediatric duties and clinical responsibilities to available medical staff and pediatric services will be compromised.
