SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Natividad administration staff requested a compensation study for the Dietitian classification series. The Natividad HR Department conducted a wage study with comparable agencies and recommends that new salary ranges for the Dietitian and Supervising Dietitian classifications be increased as follows based on labor market findings:
The Dietitian classification series is responsible for providing nutrition assessments and education to Natividad Medical Center's inpatients, outpatients, and medical staff, as needed within the Food and Nutrition Services/Dietary Department and Diabetes Clinic.
