Subject:Resolution No. 2014/227 to Amend Resolution 2009/380 Adding a Salary Step to the Title V Trainee Classification
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to eligible Welfare-to-Work participants focusing specifically on participants who are limited English proficient,
challenged by domestic violence, veterans, have a criminal or arrest history, disabled, pregnant and parenting
youth, and those participants completing the family stabilization component of the Welfare-to-Work program.
CCWORKS participants who meet the aforementioned criteria are served under the new component of the
CCWORKS program known as Expanded Subsidized Employment. Expanded Subsidized Employment (ESE)
participants are allowed to work between 20 and 40 hours per week for a maximum of six months. The
contractual/financial agreement with employers is to reimburse no less than $9 but not to exceed $20 per hour,
with a bonus opportunity following the subsidy period if the employer continues to employ the participant not to
exceed $1,000 per bonus.
The program places individuals in various Contra Costa County Program as temporary Title V Trainees. The
current salary range for this classification only includes the two steps originally approved in Resolution 2009/380
- $8.00 per hour and $9.19 per hour. The new ESE participants are to receive a $9.00 per hour wage. To
accommodate this, an additional salary step needs to be added to the Salary Schedule for the classification for the
period of April 22, 2014 through June 30, 2014. This classification would have a three step range - $8.00, $9.00,
and $9.19. On July 1, 2014, the current $8.00 step will be increased to $9.00 per hour under Resolution No.
2014/166. Therefore, at that time, the salary range should be reduced to two steps - $9.00 and $9.19 per hour.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this request is not approved, the trainees will not be paid the amount due them as participants of the Expanded
program.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
