Report Title: Contra Costa County Fire Management Resolution Which Supersedes Resolution No. 2022/264
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Adopt a Resolution which supersedes Resolution No. 2022/264 regarding compensation and benefits for unrepresented fire safety management classifications in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The roll in of the existing five percent (5%) Standby Duty with Emergency Recall Differential into base pay will cost approximately $177,000 in benefit costs per year. The Juneteenth Holiday is currently observed by the County and this action presents no additional cost. The cost of the remainder of the items may vary depending on employee usage.
BACKGROUND:
The Resolution is being modified in the following ways:
1. Section 1.10 is amended to add Juneteenth (June 19) to the list of paid holidays.
2. Section 1.17 is amended to change the length of service increments and Increase vacation accruals for employees on a 56-hour work schedule.
3. Section 1.18 is amended to increased sick leave accruals for employees on a 56-hour work schedule from 12 hours to 15 hours per month.
4. Section 14 is amended to change the vacation buy back benefit to apply to all employees regardless of hire date.
5. Section 21 is amended to eliminate the five percent (5%) Standby Duty with Emergency Recall Differential effective September 1, 2023. Employees will continue to perform this duty and instead be compensated through an increase to their base salary.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Unrepresented Fire management employees will not be subject to appropriate leave, pay and benefits.
