Adopt a Resolution which amends Shasta County’s Salary Schedule and Shasta County’s Position Allocation List as follows: (1) increases the salary range to be five percent above the California Minimum Wage ($11.00) for various job classifications effective December 25, 2016; and (2) increases the salary range for the Sheriff’s Program Manager job classification effective November 27, 2016 to comply with Fair Labor Standards Act salary requirements for employees exempt from overtime; and (3) amends the Position Allocation List to delete 1.0 Full-Time Equivalent Vocational Instructor III in the Health and Human Services Agency-Regional Services Branch Opportunity Center budget effective November 27, 2016.

N/A

Pursuant to the California Minimum Wage increase to $11.00 per hour effective January 1, 2017, the recommended modifications align the classifications listed, to a salary range 5% above said minimum wage.  All other County classification salaries are above the recommended modifications.

The recommended modifications also take into consideration the changes in The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime pay requirements established in FLSA 29 C.F.R. Part 541, effective December 1, 2016, increasing the minimum salary requirement for exempt employees to $47,476 annually.

Additionally, it is recommended to delete the position of Vocational Instructor III from the Social Services-Opp Center as this was an alternately staffed position where the Vocational Instructor I/II was deleted as part of Salary Resolution 1497 but the Vocational Instructor III was not addressed.

The Board may choose to not approve the recommendations or make modifications in whole or in part; however, this is not recommended as the changes will allow the County to align with California’s Minimum Wage increase and the changes to the FLSA overtime regulation.

This recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office.

The financial impacts of the recommendations will be budgeted within the County Departments respectively.
