Explanation: This action adjusts the pay rate of the Deputy Director of Ancillary Services classification by 5% to alleviate salary compaction with its subordinate classifications and align pay rate with similar roles within the San Mateo Medical Center. This action represents an approximate monthly salary and benefits cost of $856 if position is filled at the highest step of the salary range. There is no change in the total number of authorized positions.
Action B: Set: Salary range for D217, San Mateo Medical Center Well-Being and Engagement Officer at $64.93 to $81.17 per hour.
Explanation: This action sets the hourly salary range for the newly created San Mateo Medical Center Well-Being and Engagement Officer at $64.93 to $81.17. This action is setting the salary only and therefore represents no monthly salary and benefits cost and no change in the total number of authorized positions.
Action C: Amend Section 5 - Special Compensation, Subsection County Health of the Master Salary Resolution to add a licensure/certification allowance for a Deputy Director of Ancillary Services.
Explanation: This action amends the Special Compensation section of the Master Salary Resolution to add a 5% licensure/certification allowance for a Deputy Director of Ancillary Services who obtains and maintains a California-issued license or certification in one of the ancillary services they manage.
