DATE: December 4, 2018
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Paul Nerland, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: Extension of Military Supplemental Pay Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Adopt resolution, which approves extending provisions of the California Military & Veterans Code, section 395.03 to eligible permanent County employees, effective December 17, 2018 through December 15, 2019.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will adopt the resolution thereby continuing to offer the Military Supplemental Pay Program through the 2019 payroll year, from December 17, 2018 through December 15, 2019. The program was approved by your Board on October 16, 2001 for management and unrepresented employees and on November 27, 2001 for represented employees with yearly extensions since that time. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Not approving the recommended action would directly impact eligible Military Supplemental Pay Program employees as they would no longer be eligible to receive the County contribution toward benefits or receive regular County pay offset by all military pay received for such duty.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. County departments have already budgeted for the cost associated with the continuation of the program from December 17, 2018 through June 30, 2019. The budgeted amount includes military supplement compensation and any related benefit contribution (health insurance, retirement, etc.). Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues for the impacted departments, for the term of July 1, 2019 through December 15, 2019, will be included as part of their FY 2019-20 budget request.
Additionally, over the last two payroll years, the County has expended approximately $0 in 2017 and $7,866 in 2018; this amount includes military supplement compensation and any related benefit contributions (health insurance, retirement, etc.)
