A maximum of $480 per employee will be funded with the American Rescue Plan Act - Local Fiscal Recovery Fund for employees who decide to exercise the cash-out option. Any remaining cost will be funded with additional one-time Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost) or departmental revenue (if available).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Non-Represented Employee Compensation Plan (Plan) sets the terms, compensation, and other working conditions for non-represented employees in Special Districts and the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District. To ensure consistency with represented bargaining units, it is proposed that the Plan be amended to provide the Director of Human Resources the authority, with the approval of the County’s Chief Executive Officer, to provide non-represented employees up to 32 hours of COVID-19 Vaccine Incentive Leave consistent with what is provided to employees in represented bargaining units.
The proposed amendments to the Plan will become effective pay period 23, 2021 should the Board approve this item.
