RECOMMENDATION(S):

Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21938 to reallocate the salaries of the classifications of Director of Pharmacy Services (VYDC) from salary plan and grade ZA5-2164 ($9,865-$11,991) to ($12,331-$14,988); Assistant Director of Pharmacy Services (VYSC) from salary plan and grade ZA5-2041 ($8,734-$10,616) to ($10,917-$13,270), and Health Plan Pharmacy Manager (VYSE) from salary plan and grade ZA5-1973 ($8,165-$10,421) to ($10,206-$13,026) in the Health Services Department (Represented).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $170,590.74 with pension costs of $44,693.52 included. Costs will be funded by Hospital Enterprise I fund (100%).

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On August 2, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21895 increasing the salaries of the classification of Pharmacists I and II, Pharmacy Technicians and Clinical/Drug Information Coordinator in the Health Services Department. Consequently, these increases resulted in an internal salary compaction between line staff and management within the Pharmacy Services Units at Contra Costa Regional

Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Plan. Furthermore, a recent salary survey of Bay Area counties indicated the County's pharmaceutical field is significantly below market. In order to address the compaction issue and in addition to the retention of management staff, the Department is requesting to reallocate the salaries of the Director of Pharmacy Services, Assistant Director of Pharmacy Services, and the Health Plan Pharmacy Manager classifications. After three (3) meet and confers with Local 21, the parties reached a satisfactory agreement on August 9, 2016. For consistency the Pharmacy management reallocation will be effective on the same date as the line staff reallocation.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the department will be in jeopardy of maintaining the appropriate level of management and supervision required to provide service to the patients of Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and members of the Contra Costa Health Plan.
