Report Title: Amend the Contra Costa County Salary Regulations to revise Section 16 - Service Award Program
?Recommendation of the County Administrator ? Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Resolution No. 2025- amending the Contra Costa County Salary Regulations to revise Section 16 - Service Award Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with these changes.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Salary Regulations are being updated to reflect employee tenure in the modern labor market and promote employee retention. Two (2) revisions to Section 16 - Service Award Program have been identified.
Section 16.3 Service Recognition - Service Pins, (b) Form of Awards currently directs for timepieces to be award to employees reaching thirty (30) years of service. This will be revised to allow for a broader selection of awards for this milestone.
Section 16.3 Service Recognition - Service Pins, (c) Frequency of Awards currently specifies that the first service recognition will be award after the employee's first ten (10) years of service. This will be revised to provide the first service recognition after five (5) years of service.
County Labor Relations provided notice to and confirmed there was no opposition from the various labor groups regarding the changes.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the amendment is not adopted, service recognition will not accurately reflect the changing landscape of the modern work environment, which may reduce employee morale and retention.
