Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Amend Personnel Policies and Practices Resolution (PPPR) No. 98-394 Appendix A to adjust the salary range for the classification of Hospital Director of Food Services, as indicated; and
b. Direct the Human Resources Department to implement the changes in the Advantage HRM System.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
When Title 22 Health and Safety Codes were updated back in 2009, appropriate changes were made to the job classification of Hospital Director of Food Services to ensure compliance with the regulations. Since then, there has been no recorded wage study performed on the classification.
A wage study for the classification of Hospital Director of Food Services was requested to ensure the salary aligns with the market salary. The wage study is now complete and it identified that the Monterey County classification of Hospital Director of Food Services is paid 22.43% below the survey mean.
It is therefore recommended the Board of Supervisors approve the recommendation action to adjust the salary range of the Hospital Director of Food Services to ensure that we are able to recruit and retain qualified candidates for this position.
For these reasons, it is recommended that your Board approve these actions.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Monterey County Human Resources Department concurs with the recommendations.
FINANCING:
There is an annualized salary increase of $26,361 as a result of these actions for Natividad Medical Center (Unit 9600) FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget. This action does not impact the General Fund.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
Approval of this salary adjustment will allow Natividad Medical Center to recruit and/or retain highly qualified staff to provide essential services to patients in the respective departments within the hospital, which equates to improved healthcare and equitable health opportunities for patients and the community.
