DISCUSSION:
Extra help staff are used for special projects, covering 24-hour shifts, vacations and leaves of absence and expertise in meeting mandates. In addition to current staffing shortages, due to COVID-19, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has had to add additional staff to assist with the increased workload. Executive Order N-25-20 waives the 960 hour per fiscal year limit for a retired annuitant. The experience and training of these extra help employees necessitate the extension of hours.
Staff recommends that your Board approve a waiver of the 960 extra-help limitation for the following staff and an extension of 960 hours, to a maximum of 1,920 hours for fiscal year 2021-22, pursuant to Section 7 of the Humboldt County Salary Resolution:
