This action represents a monthly salary and benefits cost of $6817 based on filling the position at the top step in the range. However, total costs are being reduced by lowering the full time equivalency of one of the Dentist positions to .6. This will result in an overall monthly salary and benefits savings of $798.

Explanation: |
This is a change in the staffing compliment for the Senior Care Center. The change from Medical Office Assistants to Medical Services Assistants is as a result of confusion as to the role of the former classification. Medical Office Assistants provide clerical and office support services while Medical Services Assistants provide direct patient care. The Senior Center needs the direct patient care positions. The change from Nurse Practitioner to Adult Psychiatrist will provide a broader range of patient care support services than can be provided by the nursing position. The addition of the Psychologist position will provide necessary counseling services skills and funding is available in the Center budget. The reclassification action represents a monthly salary and benefits cost of $3635 based on filling the positions at the top step in the range. The total number of authorized positions is increased by one. | ||
