FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The total estimated cost is $1,500 ongoing per year.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Social Worker I and II staff have recently been assigned to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center’s Behavioral Health Unit. There is an existing article in the 2019-2023 Consolidated Memorandum of Understanding providing for a Medical Support Weekend Differential which allows classifications assigned to hospital, mental, or correctional institutions who work on a scheduled weekend day off to receive a differential of $3.00 per hour actually worked over and above their base hourly rate. The County engaged in a meet and confer with Teamsters Local 1932, the exclusive representative of employees in the Social Worker I and II classifications, regarding the expansion of this differential to the Social Workers employed at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. At the conclusion of the meet and confer, the parties agreed to the proposed Side Letter Agreement (Agreement) that allows these classifications to be eligible for the differential. If approved, this Agreement would be effective July 2, 2022.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
