Title
Chief Administrative Office and Human Resources recommending the Board adopt Resolution 015-2014 revising the County of El Dorado Personnel Rules, to revise and clarify language and to add Part 111, Respectful Workplace; Appendix A, Employee Expectation Standards; and Appendix B, El Dorado County Department Head Expectations. (Cont. 2/25/14, Item 31)
Body
Background
On May 7, 2013, the Board approved a comprehensive update to the County of El Dorado Personnel Rules (Resolution 048-2013). In the seven months that this document has been in place and in use, it has become apparent and necessary to make minor revisions for grammatical clarity. Furthermore, revisions to Part 806 (b), Overfill, and Part 606, Veteran’s Preference Credit, effectively supersede Resolution 275-93 and Resolution 148-94 respectively, and therefore staff recommends those resolutions be repealed. In addition to these changes, Part 111, Respectful Workplace, Appendix A, Employee Expectation Standards, and Appendix B, El Dorado County Department Head Expectations were added.
On January 21, 2014, the Chief Administrative Office and Human Resources presented the proposed changes to various sections the Personnel Rules as outlined in the attached memorandum from Terri Daly, Chief Administrative Officer (Attachment 2A) as well as in the attached Chart of Personnel Rule Revisions (Attachment 2B). The proposed draft changes were provided in detail as Attachment 2C.
Reason for Recommendation
Additional revisions and corrections to the proposed changes to the Personnel Rules have been made based on further review by staff and County Counsel following the January 21, 2014 Board meeting. The current agenda item includes approval by County Counsel (Attachment 4A), the proposed Resolution to enact the revisions (Attachment 4B) and the proposed revisions to the Personnel Rules (Attachment 4C).
All bargaining units have been notified that the Board of Supervisors will be discussing this matter on March 4, 2014.
Clerk of the Board Follow Up Actions
The Clerk of the Board shall obtain the Chair's signature on the Resolution and provide a fully executed copy to Human Resources for implementation.
