FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $218,689.53, with pension costs of $54,901.29. The entire cost is 100% offset by third party revenue and contained in the Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to increase the hours of Personnel Services Assistant III position to be assigned in the administration of the Department's Disability Benefits Program. Duties and responsibilities will include maintaining liaison with the County's Risk Management Division regarding employee claims; identifying, creating, and monitoring modified and limited duty assignments; approving and monitoring employee leave of absences; facilitating ADA accommodations; and providing personnel consultation to managers. The Personnel Technician will work closely with the Department's Disability Program Analyst to ensure all State and Federal mandated timelines under the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act are met. Additional duties include providing assistance to other analysts in recruitment and selection, and providing lead direction to administrative clerks.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, Health Services Personnel will not have adequate staffing to meet the Federal and State mandates in the timely notification of employees of their rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
