BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
and Technical Engineers, Local 21, for the period of July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012.
This Memorandum of Understanding includes the agreement to reduce the salary of all
Local 21 represented employees by 2.75% effective on October 1, 2011. The County
Administrator is recommending that the Board of Supervisors now adopt Resolution No.
2011/415 to adjust the salary of employee #56277, who is represented by Local 21,
effective October 1, 2011, to reflect the negotiated salary reduction.
The County’s Alternate Work Plan Accommodation Program is aimed at facilitating the
return to work of County employees with medical restrictions. Under this
Accommodation Program, the Department of Conservation and Development, Risk
Management and said employee agreed to a voluntarily demotion to the class of Planner
I. The employee holds a Master’s Degree in Geology and will use this knowledge to
assist with planning reviews of geotechnical issues for land use planning projects. This
employee’s education and training will significantly augment the land use planning
capabilities of the Department.
Section 4.3 of the Contra Costa County Salary Regulations allows the Board of
Supervisors to adjust the salary of an employee upon voluntary demotion. Approval of
this request will allow the department to continue to compensate the previous incumbent
at the Grading Inspector II rate of pay. The salary will remain at this level until such time
as the employee has progressed through the planner series to a salary equal to or in excess
of the Grading Inspector II class. Given the employee's academic background and
specialized experience, establishing the compensation at the current pay rate is
appropriate. Most importantly, this allows the implementation of the Alternative Work
Plan Agreement which facilitates the return to work for an employee with significant
skills. This Alternative Work Plan Agreement was reached with the employee, the
Department and Risk Management.
Approval of this resolution will ensure that the employee's compensation is reduced
commensurate with other employees. His salary will remain at this level until such time
that the salary of the classification in which the employee is appoinited (Planner I, II or
III) equals or exceeds his salary. At that time he will be compensated commensurate with
the status of his classification.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The employee will be unfairly advantaged in comparison to other employees.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
