BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On September 12, 2023 (Item No. 25), the Board of Supervisors approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Teamsters Local 1932 that included a retention bonus for certain Nurse Supervisory and Management Unit classifications as well as targeted equities for certain classifications. The proposed Side Letter Agreement (Agreement) is to amend the two articles listed above to include additional classifications.
The Education Services Supervisor and Clinical Director - Care Management classifications will be eligible for the Retention Bonus as they supervise classifications in the Nurse Supervisory and Management Unit that are eligible for the bonus.
As part of the MOU, the Sheriff’s Custody Specialist classification received an approximate 2.5% equity. This Agreement would grant the Sheriff’s Custody Specialist - 12-hour classification an approximate 2.5% equity to stay in parity with the Sheriff’s Custody Specialist classification who perform similar duties.
If approved, the Agreement will be effective September 23, 2023.
