RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/198 to grant an exception to Contra Costa County Salary Regulations Section 4.1, and adjust the salary step of the incumbent in the classification of Senior Deputy District Attorney - Exempt (2KD1), position number 14469, from step four to step five of salary range B8E 2376 ($13,615.54 - $16,549.78) effective at date of promotion June 3, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approximately $14,000 in increased salary and benefit costs, of which $3,700 is attributable to employer pension costs.

BACKGROUND:

On June 3, 2019, the incumbent was promoted to a position in the classification of Senior Deputy District Attorney - Exempt. The incumbent was receiving outstanding performance pay (OPP) and as a result would receive only a 3% increase in pay if the standard rule were applied, rather than a minimum of 5% which is typical for a promotion. Therefore, the Department requests approval to grant an exception to the County's Salary Regulations to allow the incumbent to be placed at step five of the classification's salary range.
