Narrative Explanation of Financial Impact:
Approval of the temporary increase in pay for Christine Messinger from Staff Services Analyst to Program Manager is anticipated to be an additional cost of $382 in salaries and benefits per pay period or $3,056 for eight pay periods. As this temporary assignment is due to extended leave of a tenured employee there are no net neutral savings from the position as plenty of leave time is available. The Staff Services Analyst position resides in Fund 1160, Budget Unit 511 where a Senior Office Assistant position has been held vacant since the beginning of the fiscal year, creating savings to allow for this temporary assignment. The increase in salaries and benefits will be included in Social Services quarterly claims and reimbursed through state, federal and local funding sources. There is no impact to the County General Fund.
