RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2016/427 to provide for a general salary increase for the employees of the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority for the period of July 1, 2016 and beyond.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The terms and conditions set forth in this action are estimated at a cost of $43,000 for FY 2016/17 for the 4% wage increase; $75,000 for FY 2017/18 ($43,000 from the 4% wage increase in FY 2016/17); and $107,000 for FY 2018/19 ($43,000 from the FY 2016/17 wage increase and $32,000 from the FY 2017/18 increase).

BACKGROUND:

The IHSS-Public Authority employees' wages have historically been linked to the resolution providing benefits and compensation for unrepresented management and exempt employees of Contra Costa County. The Board of Supervisors has been asked to approve Resolution No. 2016/395, which provides a 4% increase in base pay for unrepresented management employees covered by the resolution effective July 1, 2016, three percent (3%) effective July 1, 2017, and three percent (3%) effective July 1, 2018. Resolution No. 2016/427 (attached) provides for the same salary increases for IHSS/PA employees to maintain alignment between IHSS Public Authority staff wage-increases and those of unrepresented County management.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The benefits of employees of the IHSS/PA will no longer be consistent with those of management-exempt and unrepresented employees of Contra Costa County.
