DISCUSSION:
Kristin Sauer was employed with Child Welfare Services (CWS) with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) from November 9, 2015 through January 25, 2021 as a Social Worker III. During that time Kristin demonstrated proficiency as an independent social worker, fully trained to carry a full investigation caseload in the Emergency Response program and was also a mentor to her peers. Kristin's focus in our agency in her current extra help assignment is assisting social workers in the Emergency Response program in conducting timely and thorough investigations of maltreatment, and providing intensive services to stabilize families and connect families to ongoing services. This is a specific skill set that takes years of practice and a complete understanding of the CWS investigation process. CWS recognizes Kristin's willingness to provide her expertise and over 5 years of experience within CWS in this extra help assignment and therefore requests to move Kristen Sauer from step 1A to step E.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of the advanced step increase for Social Worker III from step 1A to step E, is anticipated to cost $7,931 in salaries and benefits annually for the maximum 960 extra help hours. There are sufficient salary savings due to vacancies in Fund 1160, Budget Unit 508 Child Welfare Services in the proposed budget for fiscal year 2022/23 to cover the extra help position at the advanced step. There is no impact to the General Fund.
