Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Recorder Budget Unit (1100-271)
DISCUSSION:
Evaluation and changes in current vacant position(s) are under review by the newly elected official. The office of the Clerk/Recorder is requesting an extension of extra help hours to the total of 1,920 hours maximum for the remainder of fiscal year (FY) 2022-23 for Sebastian Guevara Olhagaray and Emily Rose Laursen. The requested extension of extra-help hours is necessary to staff vital Clerk/Recorder programs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The estimated salary and benefit cost for the requested extension of extra-help hours is $31,240. The Budget Adjustment will utilize salary savings from unfilled positions to cover these costs.
All extra-help employees working beyond 960 hours are subject to paying into the California Public Employee Retirement System (“PERS”). The additional costs for PERS have been included in the estimated salary and benefit costs for the requested extension of extra-help hours.
The Affordable Care Act requires large employers with 50 or more full-time employees to offer health coverage to all full-time employees. The County Clerk/Recorder’s Department is aware of the federal provisions that impact extra-help employment and is also aware that the standard measurement period of employee hours will occur over the course of a 52-week period.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by providing community-appropriate levels of service .
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board may choose to deny staff’s recommendations. However, this alternative is not recommended as doing so would create an increased workload for existing staff and reduce the level of service provided by the office of the Clerk/Recorder.
