Subject:Revised Management Benefits Resolution No. 2015/386, which Supersedes Resolution No. 2015/3
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
>
The attached Management Resolution has been modified in the following ways:
The face sheet now provides that to the extent the Management Benefits Resolution is inconsistent with the
County’s Administrative Bulletins, Salary Regulations, and Personnel Management Regulations, the terms
of the Resolution govern;
1.
Section 2.11 is amended to add a high deductible health plan option, and beginning January 1, 2018,
certain high cost employer-sponsored health plans will be eliminated;
2.
An Employee +1 Dependent option is added to the premium subsidy structure in section 2.12;3.
New section 2.12.1 Medical Plan Cost-Sharing on and after January 1, 2016 is added to provide three tiered
Health plan premium cost-sharing for the 2016 Plan Year and beyond;
4.
Health plan premium subsidy amounts listed for employees participating in CalPERS are corrected in
section 2.19;
5.
New section 2.32 Health Benefit Access for Employees Not Otherwise Covered is added to provide access
to health plans at employee expense for employees not otherwise eligible for coverage in compliance with
the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act;
6.
New section 30.12 Law School Loan Reimbursement Program is added. Unrepresented attorneys, other
than the District Attorney, County Counsel, and Public Defender, will be eligible to receive limited
reimbursement for law school loans in the same amount and on terms similar to those applicable to
represented attorneys;
7.
New section 56 Countywide Accounting Differential is added to provide a pay differential for specified
classifications with responsibility for ensuring the system-wide fiscal integrity of the County and its
dependent special districts; and
8.
The job title of District Attorney is corrected in sections 21, 25, and 30.13.9.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the action is not taken, employees will not have access to a new high deductible health plan, a three tier cost
structure, or improved employer subsidies to health plans.

the following Monday.
1.11 Definitions:
Regular Work Schedule: The regular work schedule is eight (8) hours per
day, Monday through Friday, inclusive, for a total of forty (40) hours per week.
Flexible Work Schedule: A flexible work schedule is any schedule that is not a

scheduled to work more than 40 hours in a “workweek” as defined below.
Alternate Work Schedule: An alternate work schedule is any work schedule
where the employee is regularly scheduled to work five (5) days per week,
but the employee’s regularly scheduled days off are NOT Saturday and
Sunday.

seven (7) day period, for a total of forty (40) hours per week.

2 of 48
RESOLUTION NO. 2015/386
Workweek for Employees on Regular, Flexible, Alternate, and 4/10
Schedules: For employees on regular, flexible, alternate, and 4/10
schedules, the workweek begins at 12:01 a.m. on Monday and ends at 12
midnight on Sunday. For employees who work in a twenty-four (24) hour
facility in the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and who are not on a
9/80 work schedule, the workweek begins at 12:01 a.m. Sunday and ends at
12:00 midnight on Saturday.
Workweek for Employees on a 9/80 Schedule: The 9/80 workweek begins on
the same day of the week as the employee’s eight (8) hour work day and
regularly scheduled 9/80 day off. The start time of the workweek is four (4)
hours and one (1) minute after the start time of the eight (8) hour work day.
The end time of the workweek is four (4) hours after the start time of the eight
(8) hour work day. The result is a workweek that is a fixed and regularly
recurring period of seven (7) consecutive twenty four (24) hour periods (168
hours).
1.12 Holidays Observed: Employees are entitled to observe a holiday (day off
work), without a reduction in pay, whenever a holiday is observed by the
County.
1.13 Holidays - Flexible, Alternate, 9/80, and 4/10 Work Schedules: When a
holiday falls on the regularly scheduled day off of any employee who is on a
flexible, alternate, 9/80, or 4/10 work schedule, the employee is entitled to
take the day off, without a reduction in pay, in recognition of the holiday.
These employees are entitled to request another day off in recognition of their
regularly scheduled day off. The requested day off must be within the same
month and workweek as the holiday and it must be pre-approved by the
employee’s supervisor. If the day off is not approved by the supervisor, it is
lost. If the approved day off is a nine (9) hour workday, the employee must
use one (1) hour of non-sick-leave accruals. If the approved day off is a ten
(10) hour workday, the employee must use two (2) hours of non-sick-leave
accruals. If the employee does not have any non-sick-leave accrual
balances, leave without pay (AWOP) will be authorized.
1.14 Holiday Observed - Part-Time Employees: When a holiday is observed by the
County, each part-time employee is entitled to observe the holiday in the
same ratio as his/her number of position hours bears to forty (40) hours,
multipled by 8 hours, without a reduction in pay. For example, a part-time
employee whose position hours are 24 per week is entitled to 4.8 hours off
work on a holiday (24/40 multipled by 8=4.8). Hereafter, the number of hours
produced by this calculation will be referred to as the “part-time employee’s
holiday hours.”
When the number of hours in a part-time employee’s scheduled work day that
falls on a holiday (“scheduled work hours”) is less than the employee’s part-
time employee’s holiday hours, the employee also is entitled to receive
3 of 48
RESOLUTION NO. 2015/386
flexible pay at the rate of one (1.0) times his/her base rate of pay (not
including differentials) for the difference between the employee’s scheduled
work hours and the employee’s part-time employee’s holiday hours.
When the number of hours in a part-time employee’s scheduled work day that
falls on a holiday (scheduled work hours) is more than the employee’s part-
time employee’s holiday hours, the employee must use non-sick leave
accruals for the difference between the employee’s scheduled work hours
and the employee’s part-time employee’s holiday hours. If the employee
does not have any non-sick leave accrual balances, leave without pay
(AWOP) will be authorized.
1.15 No Overtime Pay, Holiday Pay, or Comp Time: Unrepresented, management,
and exempt employees are not entitled to receive overtime pay, holiday pay,
overtime compensatory time, or holiday compensatory time. Employees who
are unable or not permitted to observe a holiday (take the day off), are
authorized to receive overtime pay ONLY IF the employee is on the Overtime
Exempt Exclusion List (see Section 11).
1.16 Personal Holiday Credit:
A. County Librarian. The County Librarian is entitled to accrue two (2)
hours of personal holiday credit each month. The County Librarian may
accrue no more than twenty four (24) hours of personal holiday credit. On
separation from County service, the County Librarian will be paid for any
unused personal holiday credit hours at his/her then current rate of pay,
up to a maximum of twenty four (24) hours.
B. Other Employees. Employees are entitled to accrue two (2) hours of
personal holiday credit each month. This time is prorated for part time
employees. No employee may accrue more than forty (40) hours of personal
holiday credit. On separation from County service, employees are paid for
any unused personal holiday credit hours at the employee’s then current rate
of pay, up to a maximum of forty (40) hours.
1.17 Vacation: Employees are entitled to accrue paid vacation credit not to exceed
the maximum cumulative hours as follows:
Length of Service
Monthly
Accrual
Hours
Maximum
Cumulative
Hours
Under 11 years 10 240

However, for the Director of Employment and Human Services (job code
XAA2, County Welfare Director) only, the monthly accrual amount is 12 hours
for the first 13 years of County service and the maximum cumulative hours is
240 for the first 11 years of County service. Thereafter, the Director is subject
to the maximums set forth in the above chart.
Each employee is eligible to accrue increased vacation hours on the first day
of the month following the employee’s Service Award Date.
An employee’s Service Award Date is the first day of his/her temporary,
provisional, or permanent appointment to a position in the County. If an
employee is first appointed to a temporary or provisional position and then
later appointed to a permanent position, the Service Award Date for that
employee is the date of the first day of the temporary or provisional
appointment.
1.18 Sick Leave: Employees are entitled to accrue paid sick leave credit in
accordance with the provisions of the County Salary Regulations and
Administrative Bulletin No. 411.7 (Sick Leave Policy) adopted on October 17,

Family Care or Medical Leave on a calendar year basis. Instead, such
employees are entitled to at least eighteen (18) weeks of leave in a “rolling”
twelve (12) month period, which period is to be measured backward from the
date the employee uses FMLA leave.

for any health or dental plan after they separate from County employment.
However, any such eligible employee who retires under the Contra Costa
County Employees’ Retirement Association (“CCCERA”) may retain
continuous coverage of a county health and/or dental plan provided that
(I) he or she begins to receive a monthly retirement allowance from
CCCERA within 120 days of separation from County employment and (ii)
he or she pays the full premium cost under the health and/or dental plan
without any County premium subsidy. This provision does not apply to
any member of the Board of Supervisors who was a County employee
when elected to the Board of Supervisors with a County employee hire
date that is earlier than January 1, 2009.

retirement by paying the full premium for health and dental coverage on or
before the 10th of each month, to the Contra Costa County Auditor-
Controller. When the deferred retirees begin to receive retirement
benefits, they will qualify for the same health and/or dental coverage
pursuant to subsection (a) above, as similarly situated retirees who did not
defer retirement.
5. Deferred retirees may elect retiree health benefits hereunder without
electing to maintain participation in their County health and/or dental plan
during their deferred retirement period. When they begin to receive
retirement benefits, they will qualify for the same health and/or dental
coverage pursuant to subsection (a) above, as similarly situated retirees
who did not defer retirement, provided reinstatement to a County group
health and/or dental plan will only occur following a three (3) full calendar
month waiting period after the month in which their retirement allowance

pay the difference to the Auditor-Controller. The responsibility for this
payment rests solely with the employee.

a. Each employee and retiree may be covered by only a single County
health (or dental) plan, including a CalPERS plan. For example, a County
employee may be covered under a single County health and/or dental
plan as either the primary insured or the dependent of another County
employee or retiree, but not as both the primary insured and the
dependent of another County employee or retiree.
b. All dependents, as defined in Section 2.16, Family Member Eligibility
Criteria, may be covered by the health and/or dental plan of only one
spouse or one domestic partner. For example, when both husband and
wife are County employees, all of their eligible children may be covered as
dependents of either the husband or the wife, but not both.

14 of 48

Protection District.

are enrolled in the County’s program of medical or dental coverage as either
the primary or the dependent, term life insurance in the amount of ten
thousand dollars ($10,000) will be provided by the County.
2.25 Supplemental Life Insurance: In addition to the life insurance benefits
provided by this resolution, employees may subscribe voluntarily and at their
own expense for supplemental life insurance. Employees may subscribe for
an amount not to exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), of which
one hundred thousand ($100,000) is a guaranteed issue, provided the
election is made within the required enrollment periods.
2.26 Catastrophic Leave Bank: All employees are included in the Catastrophic
Leave Bank and may designate a portion of accrued vacation, compensatory
time, holiday compensatory time, or personal holiday credit to be deducted
from the donor’s existing balances and credited to the bank or to a specific
eligible employee.
a. The County Human Resources Department operates a Catastrophic
Leave Bank which is designed to assist any County employee who has
exhausted all paid accruals due to a serious or catastrophic illness, injury,
or condition of the employee or family member. The program establishes
and maintains a Countywide bank wherein any employee who wishes to
contribute may authorize that a portion of his/her accrued vacation,
compensatory time, holiday compensatory time or personal holiday credit
be deducted from those account(s) and credited to the Catastrophic
Leave Bank. Employees may donate hours either to a specific eligible
employee or to the bank. Upon approval, credits from the Catastrophic
Leave Bank may be transferred to a requesting employee’s sick leave
account so that employee may remain in paid status for a longer period of
time, thus partially ameliorating the financial impact of the illness, injury or
condition. Catastrophic illness or injury is defined as a critical medical
condition, a long-term major physical impairment or disability that
manifests itself during employment.
b. The plan is administered under the direction of the Director of Human
Resources. The Human Resources Department is responsible for
receiving and recording all donations of accruals and for initiating transfer
of credits from the Bank to the recipient’s sick leave account.
Disbursement of accruals is subject to the approval of a six (6) member
committee composed of three (3) members appointed by the County
Administrator and three (3) members appointed by the majority
representative employee organizations. The committee will meet once a
15 of 48
RESOLUTION NO. 2015/386
month, if necessary, to consider all requests for credits and will make
determinations as to the appropriateness of the request. The committee
will determine the amount of accruals to be awarded for employees whose
donations are non-specific. Consideration of all requests by the
committee will be on an anonymous requester basis.
c. Hours transferred from the Catastrophic Leave Bank to a recipient will be
in the form of sick leave accruals and will be treated as regular sick leave
accruals.
d. To receive credits under this plan, an employee must have permanent
status, have exhausted all time off accruals to a level below eight (8)
hours total, have applied for a medical leave of absence, and have
medical verification of need.
e. Donations are irrevocable unless the donation to the eligible employee is
denied. Donations may be made in hourly blocks with a minimum
donation of not less than four (4) hours from balances in the vacation,
holiday, personal holiday, compensatory time or holiday compensatory
time accounts. Employees who elect to donate to a specific individual will
have seventy-five percent (75%) of their donation credited to the individual
and twenty-five percent (25%) credited to the Catastrophic Leave Bank.
f. Time donated will be converted to a dollar value and the dollar value will
be converted back to sick leave accruals at the recipient’s base hourly
rate when disbursed. Credits will not be on a straight hour-for-hour basis.
All computations will be on a standard 173.33 basis, except that
employees on other than a forty (40) hour week will have hours prorated
according to their status.
g. Each recipient is limited to a total of one thousand forty (1040) hours or its
equivalent per catastrophic event; each donor is limited to one hundred
twenty (120) hours per calendar year.
h. All appeals from either a donor or recipient will be resolved on a final
basis by the Director of Human Resources.
i. No employee has any entitlement to catastrophic leave benefits. The
award of Catastrophic Leave is at the sole discretion of the committee,
both as to amounts of benefits awarded and as to persons awarded
benefits. Benefits may be denied, or awarded for less than six (6)
months. The committee may limit benefits in accordance with available
contributions and choose from among eligible applicants on an
anonymous basis those who will receive benefits, except for hours
donated to a specific employee. In the event a donation is made to a
specific employee and the committee determines the employee does not
meet the Catastrophic Leave Bank criteria, the donating employee may
authorize the hours to be donated to the bank or returned to the donor’s
16 of 48
RESOLUTION NO. 2015/386
account.
j. Any unused hours transferred to a recipient will be returned to the
Catastrophic Leave Bank.
2.27 Health Care Spending Account: After six (6) months of permanent
employment, full time and part time (20/40 or greater) employees may elect to
participate in a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) Program designated
to qualify for tax savings under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, but
such savings are not guaranteed. The HCSA Program allows employees to
set aside a predetermined amount of money from their pay, before taxes, for
health care expenses not reimbursed by any other health benefit plans.
HCSA dollars may be expended on any eligible medical expenses allowed by
Internal Revenue Code Section 125. Any unused balance is forfeited and
cannot be recovered by the employee.
2.28 PERS Long-Term Care: The County will deduct and remit monthly premiums
to the PERS Long-Term Care Administrator for employees who are eligible
and voluntarily elect to purchase long-term care at their personal expense
through the PERS Long-Term Care Program.
2.29 Dependent Care Assistance Program: The County will continue to offer the
option of enrolling in a Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP)
designed to qualify for tax savings under Section 129 of the Internal Revenue
Code, but such savings are not guaranteed. The program allows employees
to set aside up to five thousand dollars ($5,000) of annual salary (before
taxes) per calendar year to pay for eligible dependent care (child and elder
care) expenses. Any unused balance is forfeited and cannot be recovered by
the employee.
2.30 Premium Conversion Plan: The County will continue to offer the Premium
Conversion Plan (PCP) designed to qualify for tax savings under Section 125
of the Internal Revenue Code, but tax savings are not guaranteed. The
program allows employees to use pre-tax dollars to pay health and dental
premiums.
2.31 Prevailing Section: To the extent that any provision of this Section (Section 2.
Health, Dental, and Related Benefits) is inconsistent with any provision of any
other County enactment or policy, including but not limited to Administrative
Bulletins, the Salary Regulations, the Personnel Management Regulations, or
any other resolution or order of the Board of Supervisors, the provision(s) of
this Section (Section 2. Health, Dental, and Related Benefits) will prevail.
2.32 Health Benefit Access for Employees Not Otherwise Covered: To access
County health plans, an employee who is not otherwise eligible for health
coverage by the County, must be eligible to receive an offer of coverage from
the County under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
17 of 48
RESOLUTION NO. 2015/386
(“ACA”) (42 U.S.C. § 18081). Employees eligible to receive an offer of
coverage (and qualified dependents), will be offered access to County health
insurance plans. Employees will be responsible for the full premium cost of

and Unrepresented employees for prescription safety eyeglasses which are

Service (IRS) as a tax deductible expense, adjusted to reflect changes in this rate on
the date it becomes effective or the first of the month following announcement of the
changed rate by the IRS, whichever is later.
5. Retirement Contributions:
5.10 No County Subvention. Effective on October 1, 2011, employees are
responsible for the payment of one hundred percent (100%) of the
employees’ basic retirement benefit contributions determined annually by the
Board of Retirement of the Contra Costa County Employees’ Retirement
Association without the County paying any part of the employees’
contribution. Employees are also responsible for the payment of the
employees’ contributions to the retirement cost-of-living program as
determined annually by the Board of Retirement without the County paying
any part of the employees’ contributions. Except as provided in Section 36
(District Attorney Investigator - Safety Employees Retirement Tier) Section 44
(Probation - Safety Employees Retirement Tiers) and Section 53 (Safety
Employees Retirement Tiers- Miscellaneous Safety Classifications), the County
is responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of the employer’s retirement
contributions determined annually by the Board of Retirement.
5.11 414H2 Participation. The County will continue to implement Section 414(h)
(2) of the Internal Revenue Code which allows the County Auditor–Controller

Federal and State income taxes are withheld, and forward that amount to the
Retirement system. This program of deferred retirement contribution will be
universal and non-voluntary as required by statute.
6. New Retirement Plan:
A. PEPRA for Employees who become CCCERA Members on or after January 1,
2013. For employees who, under the California Public Employees Pension

PEPRA governs.
B. COLA. For employees hired by the County on and after January 1, 2014, who,

proof of payment (copy of invoice or canceled check).
8. Bilingual Pay Differential: A monthly salary differential will be paid to incumbents
of positions requiring bilingual proficiency as designated by the Appointing Authority
and the Director of Human Resources. The differential will be prorated for
employees working less than full time and/or on an unpaid leave of absence during
any given month. The differential is one hundred dollars ($100.00) per month.
Designation of positions for which bilingual proficiency is required is the sole
prerogative of the County, and such designations may be amended or deleted at any
time.
9. Higher Pay for Work in a Higher Classification: The County Salary Regulations
notwithstanding, when an employee is required to work in a higher paid
classification, the employee will receive the higher compensation for such work,
pursuant to the County Salary Regulations, plus any differentials and incentives the
employee would have received in his/her regular position. Unless the Board has by
Resolution otherwise specified, the higher pay entitlement will begin on the
completion of the 40th consecutive hour in the assignment, retroactive to the
beginning of the second full day of work in the assignment.
10. Workers’ Compensation and Continuing Pay: For all accepted workers’
compensation claims filed with the County during calendar year 2007, employees
will receive eighty percent (80%) of their regular monthly salary during any period of
compensable temporary disability not to exceed one (1) year. For all accepted
workers’ compensation claims filed with the County on or after January 1, 2008,

hundred percent (100%) of regular monthly salary.
10.10 Waiting Period: There is a three (3) calendar day waiting period before
workers’ compensation benefits commence. If the injured worker loses any
time on the date of injury, that day counts as day one (1) of the waiting
period. If the injured worker does not lose time on the date of the injury, the
waiting period is the first three (3) days following the date of the injury. The
20 of 48
RESOLUTION NO. 2015/386
time the employee is scheduled to work during this waiting period will be
charged to the employee’s sick leave and/or vacation accruals. In order to
qualify for workers’ compensation the employee must be under the care of a
physician. Temporary compensation is payable on the first three (3) days of
disability when the injury necessitates hospitalization, or when the disability
exceeds fourteen (14) days.
10.11 Continuing Pay: A permanent employee will receive the applicable
percentage of regular monthly salary in lieu of workers’ compensation during
any period of compensable temporary disability not to exceed one year.
“Compensable temporary disability absence” for the purpose of this Section,
is any absence due to work-connected disability which qualifies for temporary
disability compensation under workers’ compensation law set forth in Division
4 of the California Labor Code. When any disability becomes medically
permanent and stationary, the salary provided by this Section will terminate.
No charge will be made against sick leave or vacation for these salary
payments. Sick leave and vacation rights do not accrue for those periods
during which continuing pay is received. Employees are entitled to a
maximum of one (1) year of continuing pay benefits for any one injury or
illness.
Continuing pay begins at the same time that temporary workers’
compensation benefits commence and continues until either the member is
declared medically permanent/stationary, or until one (1) year of continuing
pay, whichever comes first, provided the employee remains in an active
employed status. Continuing pay is automatically terminated on the date an
employee is separated from County service by resignation, retirement, layoff,
or the employee is no longer employed by the County. In these instances,
employees will be paid workers’ compensation benefits as prescribed by
workers’ compensation laws. All continuing pay must be cleared through the
County Administrator’s Office, Risk Management Division.
10.12 Physician Visits: Whenever an employee who has been injured on the job
and has returned to work is required by an attending physician to leave work
for treatment during working hours, the employee is allowed time off, up to
three (3) hours for such treatment, without loss of pay or benefits. Said visits
are to be scheduled contiguous to either the beginning or end of the
scheduled workday whenever possible. This provision applies only to
injuries/illnesses that have been accepted by the County as work related.
10.13 Labor Code §4850 Exclusion: The foregoing provisions for workers’
compensation and continuing pay are inapplicable in the case of employees
entitled to benefits under Labor Code Section 4850.
11. Other Terms and Conditions of Employment
21 of 48
RESOLUTION NO. 2015/386
11.10 Overtime Exempt Exclusion: Employees in unrepresented, management,
and exempt classifications are overtime exempt and are not eligible for
overtime pay, holiday pay, overtime compensatory time, or holiday
compensatory time. Instead, these employees are awarded Annual
Management Administrative Leave in recognition of the extra burden their
job responsibilities may sometimes place on their work schedules.
However, unrepresented, management, and exempt employees may be
made eligible for overtime pay if their names are placed on the Overtime
Exempt Exclusion List by the County Administrator’s Office. Employees
on the Overtime Exempt Exclusion List are authorized to receive overtime
pay, only. These employees are NOT eligible for holiday pay, overtime
compensatory time, or holiday compensatory time. Employees on the
Overtime Exempt Exclusion List are also NOT eligible for Annual
Management Administrative Leave for the quarter they are on the
Overtime Exempt Exclusion List. The policies and procedures for the
Overtime Exempt Exclusion List are set forth in the County Administrator’s
memo of November 6, 2002, as may be amended.
Employees may be approved for placement on the Overtime Exempt
Exclusion List if and when they are assigned to a special or temporary
project or task that requires persistent, excess work hours, without relief
from their regular job duties. Overtime pay will not be authorized as a
means to address normal staffing or operational issues.
11.11 Overtime: Employees on the Overtime Exempt Exclusion List will be
compensated at one and one-half (1.5) times their base rate of pay
