Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Approve the recommended amendment to the Salary and Benefits Resolution for Unrepresented Employees.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On December 11, 2001, the Board of Supervisors adopted Salary and Benefits Resolution 323-2001 for Unrepresented Employees. Section 1407 On-Call Duty and Call-Back Pay for Extra Help Employees provides for hourly compensation for extra help employees who are assigned to on-call duty and specifies compensation for those employees when they are required to return to work while on-call ("Call Back Pay"). This amendment is recommended in order to provide consistency by making the provisions of Section 1407 applicable to all non-exempt employees subject to the salary and benefits resolution. In addition, on-call compensation is revised for employees of the Health and Human Services Agency only, in order to provide the same compensation for non-exempt confidential and extra help employees within HHSA that their represented counterparts receive pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding with the El Dorado County Employees' Assocation, Local No. 1. For HHSA employees, on-call compensation will be paid at 20% of the employee's base hourly rate; compensation for all other employees will remain at $1.60 per hour.

OTHER DEPARTMENT / AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA)
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the recommended changes.
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Adopt resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Because the County cannot predict with certainty which HHSA unrepresented employees will be on-call and cannot predict how frequently HHSA unrepresented employees on-call employees will need to change to call-back status, the costs of the method of payment for on-call duty status HHSA unrepresented employees is only a reasonable estimate. Any additional costs would be primarily funded by State and Federal Funds with minimal impact to General Fund.
