SUMMARY:
The Human Resources Department conducted a classification study of a Health Program Coordinator incumbent in the Health Department. The study found the incumbent was performing duties more aligned with the Public Health Program Manager I classification. The Human Resources Department recommends the Board of Supervisors Budget Committee supports the recommended actions to reallocate and reclassify the incumbent from Health Program Coordinator to Public Health Program Manager I.
DISCUSSION:
The Health Department requested a classification study of the Health Program Coordinator incumbent assigned to the Health Department’s Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program. The objective of the study was to determine if the incumbent was appropriately classified, and if not, to recommend a classification that accurately reflects the duties and responsibilities currently assigned to the incumbent.
The Human Resources Department conducted a classification study of the Health Program Coordinator incumbent. The study found that the Health Program Coordinator classification does not accurately reflect the duties and responsibilities the incumbent is performing. The incumbent is providing program oversight and supervision for both professional and paraprofessional staff assigned to the WIC and CalFresh programs. Given the scope of work, complexity and consequence error, it was determined that the appropriate classification accurately reflecting the duties being performed is Public Health Program Manager I.
Therefore, the Human Resources Department recommends that the Board of Supervisors Budget Committee support the recommended actions to reclassify the incumbent from Health Program Coordinator to Public Health Program Manager I.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT/COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
The Health Department has reviewed and concurs with these recommendations. In addition, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has been provided notice of these recommendations.
FINANCING:
The salary and benefits increase for Health Department Budget Unit 8124 - Fund 001 - Appropriation Unit HEA003 for the remainder of FY 2025-26 is approximately $8,221 or $11,622 annually. The Department will manage the increase within its FY 2025-26 adopted budget.
