HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 09222015 - C.22RECOMMENDATION(S):
Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21654 to add twenty-nine (29) full time Eligibility Worker I (XHWA)
(represented) positions at Salary Plan and Grade 255 0948 ($2,845 -$3,458) in the Workforce Services Bureau of the
Employment and Human Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval of this position the net county cost will increase by approximately $134,288 during the current fiscal
year with an annual salary and benefit expense of approximately $1,790,504. These positions will be funded 45%
Federal revenue, 45% State revenue, and 10% County Cost. The annual pension cost is approximately $923,447.
BACKGROUND:
Additional Eligibility Worker I positions will allow for newly trained Eligibility Worker employees, who have
completed training, to move from the designated training unit positions to vacant permanently funded Eligibility
Worker I positions. Permanently funded Eligibility Worker I positions will allow employees to be assigned to
caseloads throughout the department, and to be flexibly promoted to the Eligibility Worker II level. These positions
are needed to ensure the Department meets its legal obligation to provide assistance to families of CalWORKS,
CalFresh and Medi-Cal programs

Subject:Add 29 Full time Eligiblity Worker I positions in Workforce Services
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the 29 Eligibility Worker I positions are not added the Department will have insufficient positions to move
Eligibility Worker Training Unit graduates from training only designated positions to permanent positions
numbers. This will jeopardize the Department's ability to flex the graduates and result in them not being paid at
the appropriate level. This may impact our ability to sustain the Workforce Services (WFS) eligibility staff levels
resulting in negative impacts on the families we serve.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Eligibility Workers are responsible for determining ongoing eligibility for MediCal, CalFresh, and CalWORKS
assistance and services that aid the entire family to become economically self-sufficient. Children are adversely
impacted when they do not have access to health care and services.
