RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE SALARY AND BENEFITS OF UNREPRESENTED CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES OF THE COUNTY OF SAN MATEO FOR THE TERM NOVEMBER 1, 2009 THROUGH OCTOBER 31, 2010

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

WHEREAS, this Board of Supervisors desires to establish certain salaries and benefits for unrepresented Confidential unit personnel not covered by a Memorandum of Understanding, and

BE IT RESOLVED that Resolution No. 65722 is rescinded and the following benefits are available to unrepresented Confidential unit personnel not covered by a Memorandum of Understanding:

SECTION 1: SALARIES AND BENEFITS

1.

Definition

“Confidential” shall mean employees in positions so designated by the Human Resources Director consistent with the Employer-Employee Relations Policy. This Resolution does not apply to Court employees.

2.

Retirement and Social Security

The coverage shall be that established by the Board of Supervisors and the Board of Retirement for employees under the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 and the Social Security Act. The County will contribute 70% of the employees’ contribution to the Retirement System.

The County implemented the 2%@55.5 retirement enhancement (Government Code Section 31676.14) for employees in the General Retirement Plan for employees who retire on or after March 13, 2005.

The enhancements apply to all future service and all service back to the date of employment pursuant to the Board of Supervisor’s authority under Government Code section 31678.2(a). Government Code section 31678.2(b) authorizes the collection, from employees, of all or part of the contributions by a member or employer or both, that would have been required if section 31676.14 had been in effect during the time period specified in the resolution adopting section 31676.14, and that the time period specified in the resolution will be all future and past general service back to the date of employment. Based upon this understanding and agreement, employees share in the cost of the 31676.14 enhancements through increased retirement contributions by way of payroll deductions as follows:

• Employees shall contribute 3% of compensation earnable as defined in SamCERA regulations.

• These contributions will not be reduced by the employer pick-ups described above.

3.

Health Insurance

Employee contributions for health insurance will be 10% of the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) premium and 20% of the Point of Service (POS) premium. Effective April 1, 2010, the Aetna Plan will be replaced with a Blue Shield HMO Plan and the age limit for dependent coverage will be 24 years old.

For employees occupying permanent part-time positions, who work a minimum of forty (40), but less than sixty (60) hours in a biweekly pay period, the County will pay one-half (1/2) of the hospital and medical care premiums described above.

For employees occupying permanent part-time positions, who work a minimum of sixty (60), but less than eighty (80) hours in a biweekly pay period, the County will pay three-fourths (3/4) of the hospital and medical care premiums described above.

In either case cited above, the County contribution shall be based on the designation by management of the position as either half-time or three-quarter time, not on the specific number of hours worked.

4.

Dental Insurance

The County shall contribute 90% of the premium for the County’s dental plans. All employees must participate in one of these plans.

5.

Vision Care

The County shall contribute the full premium for vision coverage. All employees must participate in one of these plans.

6.

Life Insurance

The County shall provide $50,000 life insurance for employees. The coverage includes death benefits for a spouse and children in the amount of $2,000.

Employees, depending on pre-qualification, may purchase additional term life insurance to a maximum of $500,000 for employee, $250,000 for spouse, and $10,000 for dependents.

7.

Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance

The County shall pay the premium for $110,000 coverage.

8.

Long Term Disability Insurance

After three years of service employees are eligible for long-term disability benefits. The benefit is two-thirds of the salary after a waiting period of 120 days, with the maximum benefit being $2400 per month.

Benefits for psychiatric disabilities that result from stress, depression or other life events are restricted to 2 years. However, a disability resulting from certain chronic psychotic disorders or a disorder with demonstrable organic brain deficits can qualify for benefits payable up to the age of 65.

9.

Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance After Retirement from County Service

For employees hired on or prior to April 1, 2008:

The County will pay to employees who retire concurrently with separation from County service one month’s health, dental and vision premium for the employee and eligible dependents for each 8 hours of unused sick leave. Employees who separate from County service and enter into deferred retirement or otherwise separate without retiring are not eligible for this benefit.

For employees commencing employment after April 1, 2008: Employees who retire concurrently with separation from County service, for every 8 hours of unused sick leave, the County will pay $700 toward the premium for one month of the retiree health plan and the full cost of one month of the dental and vision coverage. Employees who separate from County service and enter into deferred retirement or otherwise separate without retiring are not eligible for this benefit. For active employees, the County will contribute $100 per month during employment to a post-employment health reimbursement account on a pre-tax basis. This account may only be used to pay for eligible premiums or medical expenses upon retirement or termination.

On the death of an employee (active or retired), coverage for the spouse and dependents will continue until the sick leave credits have expired. Retirees or surviving spouses may continue the insurance, at their own expense, by premium deductions from their retirement warrants after sick leave credits have expired, in accordance with the rules of the respective carriers.

When employee or spouse reaches age 65 he/she must, if eligible, enroll in Medicare, which also will be reimbursed by the County if sick leave credits are available.

For employees who receive a disability retirement from County service, the County will provide additional hours of sick leave to the employee’s sick leave balance for a total balance of 288.6 hours of sick leave (three years of retiree health coverage). For example, if an employee who receives a disability retirement has 100 hours of sick leave at the time of retirement, the County will add another 188.6 hours of sick leave credits to his/her balance.

10.

Severance Pay

If an employee’s position is abolished and the employee is unable to displace another employee in accordance with the rules of the Civil Service Commission, the employee is entitled to trade one half of their unused sick leave for a cash payment equal to the value of the sick leave traded. The employee is eligible for this payment only after remaining in the service of the County until the services are no longer required by the department head. If the County secures comparable employment for the displaced employee in another agency, the employee is not entitled to the severance payment. Employees accepting the payment relinquish the right to have their names placed on reemployment eligible lists.

11.

Holiday

Regular full-time employees shall be entitled to take all authorized holidays at full pay, not to exceed eight (8) hours for any one (1) day, provided they are in a pay status on both their regularly scheduled workdays immediately preceding and following the holiday. Part-time employees shall be entitled to holiday pay in proportion to the average percentage of full-time hours worked during the two (2) pay periods immediately preceding the pay period, which includes the holiday. If two or more holidays fall on succeeding or alternate pay periods, then the average full-time hours worked in the two (2) pay periods immediately preceding the first holiday shall be used in determining the holiday pay entitlement for the subsequent holiday.

12.

Salaries

The salary ranges are set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and made a part hereof.

13.

Special Compensation

Board of Supervisors

The Office of each member of the Board of Supervisors may be staffed with three positions in any one of the following three combinations: 1) one Chief Legislative Aide and two Legislative Aides, 2) two Chief Legislative Aides and one Legislative Aide, or 3) three Legislative Aides. Any of the positions listed above may be under filled with an Executive Assistant position. The salary for any individual in any of these three positions may not exceed the top step of the classification plus 10% provided that the total salaries of the combinations cannot exceed the combined top step salary for One Chief Legislative Aide and two Legislative Aides.

SECTION 2. This resolution is effective on November 1, 2009 unless otherwise specified.
