Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Plan.
Area of Focus: Workforce & Operational Excellence
Strategic Plan Category: 3003 - Enhance employee recruitment and retention
DISCUSSION:
The Library Page classification, currently unrepresented and compensated at California's minimum wage ($16 per hour), has traditionally been a 37.5-hour per week position. This classification is not tied to a formal salary range. Moving forward, it will remain compensated at the minimum wage but will transition to a 40-hour workweek, aligning with the recent adjustments made to other Library classifications from 37.5 to 40 hours.
The amended compensation schedule, effective Aug. 18, 2024, is making a correction to Library Classification compensation levels erroneously reflected on the previously approved compensation schedule, as well as adds the 37.5-hour Page classification that was previously omitted. The amended compensation schedule, effective Sept. 15, 2024, adds the Page classification as a 40-hour per week classification to the compensation schedule. The previous request your Board approved made broad changes to all Library classifications, changing them from a 37.5 to 40-hour schedules. The correction to the Page classification aligns this classification with all other Library classifications.
