SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION RESOLUTION NO. 93/394
It is ORDERED that the County continue to maximize the use of the following programs for
the period of July 1, 1993 through September 30, 1993 subject to written approval of the
appointing authority. All departments are urged to participate when doing so will result in
sufficient cost savings and administrative efficiencies.
BACKGROUND
On July 20, 1992, the Board of Supervisors approved a Board Order recommending Phase I
adjustments to the County's proposed budget for 1992-93 fiscal year which included adopting
a special leave of absence, furlough and job-sharing programs. Continuation of these
programs will provide additional cost savings.
1. LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Employees who are on an approved unpaid leave of absence for a period of at least one
month, for any reason whatever, the County will continue to pay the County share of
health care premiums (medical and or dental coverage) for enrolled employees provided
the employee share of the health care premium is received by the County Auditor-
Controller on or before the 11th of each month.
2. FURLOUGH DAYS WITHOUT PAY
Employees who elect to take furlough days or hours without pay (pre-authorized absence
without pay) up to a maximum of 15 calendar days for any one period will have their
vacation, sick leave, and any other payroll computed accruals computed as though the
employee worked the furlough time. Longer pre-authorized absence without pay are
considered leave of absence without pay.
3. JOB SHARING
Employees who are interested in job sharing with another employee or feel their job could
be reduced to part time through various alternatives may submit a proposal to their
appointing authority for consideration.
