SUMMARY:
Natividad recommends adjusting the salary ranges associated with all per diem pay in lieu of benefits positions within the hospital in order to recruit and retain qualified employees.
DISCUSSION:
Natividad recommends adjusting the salary ranges for the following classifications:
Classification Title Class Code Current Hourly Salary New Hourly Salary
Pharmacist-Per Diem 50A31 $63.594 - $86.808 $66.301 - $90.501
Nurse Practitioner III-Per Diem 52A99 $56.375 - $76.954 $75.192 - $102.645 Staff Nurse II-Per Diem 52A79 $49.854 - $68.053 $59.499 - $81.219
Sonographer-Per Diem 50R33 $46.553 - $63.546 $54.243 - $74.043
Nuclear Medicine Technologist-Per Diem 50R43 $46.535 - $63.522 $61.426 - $83.895
Physical Therapist-Per Diem 50G21 $45.348 - $61.901 $47.248 - $64.533
Occupational Therapist-Per Diem 50F30 $45.348 - $61.901 $47.248 - $64.533 Clinical Laboratory Scientist-Per Diem 50D31 $38.231 - $52.187 $45.520 - $62.133
Cardiopulmonary Technician-Per Diem 50P31 $36.976 - $50.474 $45.763 - $62.502
Radiologic Technologist-Per Diem 50R23 $33.085 - $45.162 $44.235 - $60.415
The salary strings of per diem pay in lieu of benefits classifications are not adjusted without approval of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors. Since creation, Natividad has not requested adjustments for the majority of per diem classifications which has subsequently resulted in the respective salaries falling well below market. In an effort to correct the salaries for the affected positions and realign with current market trends to remain competitive and continue to recruit, retain and appropriately compensate per diem employees, Natividad recommends adjusting the salary ranges for the above listed per diem classifications.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The above recommendations were reviewed by Natividad and the Monterey County Human Resources Department.
FINANCING:
The increased costs of the above actions were included in the Natividad Medical Center Adopted Budget (Unit 9600) for FY 2018-2019. This action has no impact on the General Fund.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
Approval of these salary adjustments will allow Natividad Medical Center to recruit and retain highly qualified staff, in order to provide quality patient care, which equates to improved healthcare and equitable health opportunities for patients and the community.
