BOARD MEETING DATE: |

| |
TO: |
Honorable Board of Supervisors |
FROM: |
Michael D. Nevin, Board of Supervisors |
SUBJECT: |
Extension of Continuation of Salary and Benefits for County Employees Called for Active Military Duty |
| |
Recommendation |
Adopt a resolution continuing the provision of salary and benefits until July 1, 2002 for County employees called to active duty during the Attack on America. |
| |
Background |
Under provisions of the California Government Code, the County is required to provide up to 30 calendar days per year of military leave with pay for any County employee who is in the Reserves. There is no provision in the Code to provide leave with pay beyond the 30 calendar day period. In order to reduce the disruption to the lives of County employees called to active duty, this Board passed a resolution in September providing assurance to County employees serving as reservists for the Attack on America that they would receive full pay for the first thirty days of their service and thereafter the difference between their military and civilian pay. In addition, the resolution provided that full benefits would be provided. This resolution was effective through January 2, 2002. |
| |
Discussion |
This resolution would continue the same pay and benefits until July 1, 2002. |
| |
Fiscal Impact |
| |
The approximate cost would be $4,000 per employee per month. This amount will vary depending on the County and military salaries of the employees who are called up. |
