Resolution No. 2001/50a_
Subject: Augmentation of salary for an
initial period not to exceed 180
calendar days while engaged
in the performance of continued
active military duty in direct connection
with the current armed conflict.
WHEREAS, The Board of Supervisors believes it is in the public interest to ensure that loss of income for
persons called to active military duty, during the current armed conflict, be minimized to the extent
possible. Currently, in accordance with the California Military and Veterans Code, the County provides
eligible employees with their full salary for the first thirty (30)days while on military leave of absence in any
fiscal year for purposes of ordered, active duty.
This action will augment existing provisions applicable to employees called to active duty as a result of
Operation Enduring Freedom.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, effective September 11, 2001, County
employees who have been called to active military duty in direct connection with the current
armed conflict, after exhausting salary or compensation to which they are entitled, pursuant
to the California Military and Veterans Code, shall be entitled to salary augmentation not to
exceed one hundred percent (100%) of their full County salary in combination with their
military pay, for a period not to exceed 180 calendar days while engaged in the performance
of ordered active military duty.
For the purposes of this resolution, "called to active military duty" means ordered into active
military duty as a member of a reserve component of the United States armed services, or
ordered into federal duty as a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia. The County
Administrator may, on an individual review and determination basis, extend this benefit for an
additional period, not to exceed 180 calendar days. County salary augmentation is subject to
mandatory deductions; voluntary deductions are optional.
County employees who currently maintain life insurance, medical and/or dental benefits shall
be entitled to continue said benefits, at their option and subject to contractual limitations, when
they are called to active military duty. If employees called to active military duty choose to
continue any or all of these benefits, the County will contribute at the customary rate and the
employee will continue to be responsible for their share of the premiums, in accordance with
County requirements.
All costs associated with this resolution will be charged to the employee's department.
I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy
of an action taken and entered on the minutes of
the Board of Supervisors on the date shown:
