RECOMMENDATION(S):

CONSIDER waiving the 180-day “sit out period” for Jeri Noble, Physical Therapist II in the Health Services Department;

FIND that the appointment of Ms. Noble is necessary to fill a critically needed position;

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the hiring of retiree Ms. Noble as a temporary employee for the period July 18, 2016 to July 17, 2017, as recommended by the Health Services Department Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $47,065.49 and the cost will be funded by the State California Children’s Services (55%) and County funds (45%).

BACKGROUND:

Jeri Noble was hired as a Physical Therapist on May 17, 1999 and retired on March 31, 2016. Over the years, Ms. Noble provided her physical therapy work expertise to County patients, specializing in the children population. Hiring her as a temporary retiree is critical to patient care in our California Children’s Services Unit. Her years of experience is needed to meet the increasing demand of case loads. The Department will recruit a full-time employee replacement and this vacancy will be filled when we find the most qualified candidate.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, there will be a shortage of physical therapist needed to meet the increase in case loads especially with the County’s children population.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
