Reason for Recommended Action/Background

See Attachment A.  Please note that most of the actions outlined in Attachment A were previously approved by the Board of Supervisors during the budget hearing on June 16, 2015.  However, staff shortages resulting from the implementation of the Infor system did not allow County staff the time needed to ensure the Attachment (Authorized Position and Salary Resolution) had captured all of the actions presented in the Budget Book.  Those actions previously approved at the budget hearing are noted on the Resolution, and have not been included in the fiscal impact section above.

The recommended 2% cost of living adustment (COLA) for the specified unrepresented groups is the same as that already approved by the Board of Supervisors and is the same as the COLA negotiated for FY2014/15 for most other County employees, excluding those currently involved in contract negotiations.  The decreased vacation accrual schedule for employees hired on or after 07/01/2015 is the same as has been adopted for other represented groups over the past year.  The changes should be adopted as followed:

Regular full-time employees hired before July 1, 2015 shall accrue vacation time in accordance with the following schedule:

After 13 biweekly periods 3.08 hours per biweekly period
After 3 years   4.62 hours per biweekly period
After 11 years 4.93 hours per biweekly period
After 12 years 5.24 hours per biweekly period
After 13 years 5.54 hours per biweekly period
After 14 years 5.85 hours per biweekly period
After 15 years 6.16 hours per biweekly period
After 16 years 6.47 hours per biweekly period
After 17 years 6.77 hours per biweekly period
After 18 years 7.08 hours per biweekly period

Regular full-time employees hired on or after July 1, 2015 shall accrue vacation time in accordance with the following schedule:
