Reason for Recommended Action/Background

The County reached a tentative agreement with the Yolo County Supervisor and Professional Employees Association and the resulting Memorandum of Understanding is included as Attachment A. The primary changes include extending the date for reduced vacation accrual schedule for new employees (Section 9.2), removing the annual CPI adjustment to retiree health (Section 16.5), eliminating vacation buy-back (Section 9.4.4), and increasing floating holiday time to 40 hours per fiscal year (Section 10.2.2). Modest cost of living adjustments for 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 are included (Section 13.1) as well as equity adjustments for the 2016-17 fiscal year (Appendix D).

Staff is further recommending provisions negotiated with represented employees be extended to unrepresented employees to ensure parity. These provisions are: 2% cost of living increase (COLA) retroactive to June 26, 2016; 2% COLA effective the first pay period that includes July 1, 2017; 2% COLA effective the first pay period that includes July 1, 2018; grandfather out longevity pay steps 6 and 7 and provide longevity pay consistent with represented bargaining units (2.5% for 10 years of service, 2.5% for 15 years of service for a max of 5%); remove Registered Nurse differential for newly hired employees; provide consistent bilingual pay of $.55/hour for conversational and $.70/hr for advanced, consistent with represented units; and increase compensatory time maximum accrual amount to 120 hours, consistent with represented units.
