Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Amend Personnel Policies and Practices Resolution No. 98-394 Appendix A to adjust the salary ranges of the Community Service Aide I, Library Page, Park Services Aide I and Student Intern classifications as, indicated in Attachment A, to comply with California Senate Bill No. 3, increasing the minimum wage to $13.00/hour, effective January 1, 2020; and
b. Amend the Personnel Policies and Practices Resolution No. 98-394 Appendix A to adjust the salary range of the Community Service Aide II as indicated in Attachment A, effective January 1, 2020; and
c. Direct the Human Resources Department to implement the changes in the Advantage HRM System.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On April 4, 2016, California Senate Bill No. 3 was signed into law, increasing the California minimum wage to $13.00/hour, effective January 1, 2020.
Currently, the first-step salary rates of four County job classifications fall below the new State minimum wage:
|
Class Code |
|
Classification |
|
60P01 |
|
Community Service Aide I |
|
80C24 |
|
Library Page |
|
68C01 |
|
Park Services Aide I |
|
90A01 |
|
Student Intern |
Accordingly, it is recommended that the salary ranges of the Community Service Aide I, Library Page, Park Services Aide I and Student Intern classifications be adjusted as indicated in Attachment A, effective January 1, 2020, for the compensation rate of these classifications to be brought into alignment with the new minimum wage.
It was also identified that in adjusting the salary range for the Community Service Aide I to comply with Senate Bill No. 3, resulted in compaction between the Community Service Aide I and Community Service Aide II. It is therefore recommended, that the Community Service Aide II salary range be increased by 6.21%, which will maintain the current spread between the classifications and prevent compaction.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Monterey County Free Libraries (MCFL), Resource Management Agency and the Health Department have been apprised of the impact of the legislative wage increase to these classifications with incumbents and concurs with the recommendations.
FINANCING:
All three departments have confirmed there are sufficient appropriations in their Recommended Budgets for FY 2019-20, to support the recommended action.
