DATE: December 10, 2019
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 16, 2019 through December 13, 2020.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will adopt the resolution thereby continuing to offer the Military Supplemental Pay Program through the 2020 payroll year, from December 16, 2019 through December 13, 2020. 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 regular County pay offset by all military pay received for such duty and any related County contribution toward benefits.
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 16, 2019 through June 30, 2020. 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, 2020 through December 13, 2020, will be included as part of their FY 2020-21 budget request.
Additionally, over the last two payroll years, the County has expended approximately $10,954 in 2018 and $21,821 in 2019; this amount includes military supplement compensation and any related benefit contributions (health insurance, retirement, etc.)
