SUMMARY:
Natividad Medical Center and the Monterey County Health Department recommend that the salary ranges for the nursing supervisor/manager classifications listed above be adjusted. This recommendation addresses a continuing compaction issue between these supervisory/managerial nursing classifications and their subordinate nursing classifications that occurred upon implementation of salary increases that the subordinate nursing classifications received as a result of labor negotiations with the Monterey County Registered Nurses Association (MCRNA).
DISCUSSION:
In order to promote efforts to recruit and retain qualified nursing supervisors and managers in the hospital, primary care clinics, and public health, Natividad Medical Center and the Monterey County Health Department recommend salary adjustments for supervisor and manager level nursing classifications. This recommendation addresses a continuing compaction issue between management nursing classifications and supervisory nursing classifications (represented by SEIU-Local 521 - Unit F) listed in this report, and the following subordinate nursing classifications (represented by MCRNA - Unit S): Case Management Nurse, Clinic Nurse, Senior Clinic Nurse, Staff Nurse I, Staff Nurse II, Staff Nurse III, Public Health Nurse I, Public Health Nurse II, and Public Health Nurse III. The present compaction issue occurred upon implementation of salary increases the subordinate nursing classifications received as a result of labor negotiations with MCRNA - Unit S.
Over the last MOU term, MCRNA - Unit S nurses received a total base salary increase of 8.4% (excluding 3.5% PERS swap and Educational Leave elimination), while unrepresented nursing managers and SEIU-Local 521 - Unit F nursing supervisors received a total base salary increase of 5% (excluding 3.5% PERS swap). The proposed recommendations listed below include an increase to the salary ranges for nursing supervisor and manager classifications to equal the total base salary increase their subordinate classifications received, in order to address the compaction issue that already exists and not create further compaction between these classifications in the Nursing series.

These salary adjustments support Natividad Medical Center and the Monterey County Health Department in their ongoing efforts to recruit and retain qualified nursing supervisors and managers in the hospital, primary care clinics, and public health. Therefore, it is recommended that the Board approve this action.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Natividad Medical Center and the Monterey County Health Department consulted with the Monterey County Human Resources Department/Labor Division regarding this recommendation. SEIU-Local 521 (representing Unit F - Supervisory Unit) concurs with this recommendation.
FINANCING:
The annualized increase to the Natividad Medical Center Budget (Unit 9600) is approximately $135,011, which will be absorbed in the NMC Budget (Unit 9600) for FY 2015-16. This action has no impact on the General Fund.
The annualized increase to the Monterey County Health Department Budget 4000, Fund 001, Appropriation Unit HEA003, Unit 8124 is approximately $22,100 and the Department will need funding from Health Realignment Fund 025, Appropriation Unit HEA013, Unit 8424 to cover this annualized increase. There are sufficient appropriations and revenues for the annualized increase of $8,850 in Health Department Budget 4000, Fund 001, Appropriation Unit HEA004, Unit 8121.
