Body

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:
On Jan. 23, 2024, your Board approved an Advanced Salary Step Request per salary resolution section 7 related to Senior Recordable Documents Examiner Jason Cotter.
The item brought to your Board on Jan. 23, 2024, was intended to correct the promotional step placement extended to Mr. Cotter in the offer of promotion that he received but was based on errant information in the County of Humboldt Compensation Schedule. The recommendation brought to your Board on Jan. 23, 2024, unfortunately only resulted in Mr. Cotter receiving a step increase going forward.
Upon approval by your board, this item will authorize Human Resources and County Payroll to correct Mr. Cotter’s step placement retroactively to the time of his promotion, Nov. 12, 2023, and additionally correct any subsequent step increases that Mr. Cotter was eligible for from that date forward.
