☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26476 to add one (1) part-time (24/40) Emergency Medicine-Exempt (VPS3) in salary plan and grade 1PX 1003 ($24,898 - $28,294) and decrease the hours of two (2) vacant full-time Emergency Medicine-Exempt (VPS3) in salary plan and grade 1PX 1003 ($24,898 - $28,294) to part-time (28/40) in position numbers 9336 and 9983 in the Health Services Department (represented)
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action is both cost and FTE neutral. (100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I)
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) is typically staffed with 18 permanent Emergency Medicine providers. The department has conducted recruitment activities because of the recent retirements of two (2) long-term providers in the Emergency Department (ED). During the selection process, the department noticed a high desire of many candidates to obtain part-time employment. To secure qualifying candidates and bring broader staffing bandwidth of ED providers, the department would like to increase part-time staffing for the ED providers.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without this approval, CCRMC is unable to bring additional depth in variable staffing to ED and will miss opportunities to recruit talented providers that are seeking part-time employment.
