RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/175 approving a Side Letter between Contra Costa County and the Physicians' and Dentists' Organization of Contra Costa (PDOCC), to expand the eligibility for Night Shift pay and amending the provisions of Section 7: Holidays of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Costs were included in the estimate provided for adoption in the original MOU. Costs will depend upon use and are expected to be minor. The costs will be expended in the Hospital Enterprise Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The first portion of this Side Letter simplifies Section 7: Holidays of the MOU by deleting large portions of the section and replacing it with condensed rules for when full-time and part-time employees work on holidays. The second portion of this Side Letter amends Exhibit B of the MOU by including job codes VPT5, VPT6, VPT1 and VPS9 in the list of classifications eligible for the $50 Night Shift differential. These classes were inadvertently overlooked when preparing the original Exhibit.
