body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Human Resources conducted an equity study of benchmark classifications at the request of the SEIU Napa Association of Public Employees - Public Service Employee Unit and Supervisor Unit (Union) to determine if any were more than four percent (4%) below the median salary of comparable agencies. On June 7, 2022, the Board approved equity adjustments for represented classifications. Human Resources then conducted a review of supervisory and management classifications to address resulting compaction issues.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The County has engaged in numerous Meet and Confer Meetings with NAPE to discuss classifications within the PSE and PSS Bargaining Units that fall more than four percent (4%) below the market median. On June 7, 2022, the Board approved equity increases to bring the agreed upon classifications to market median. Once the equity increases were in place, Human Resources conducted a review of supervisory and management classifications to address any compaction issues. If additional classifications receive an equity increase in the future, staff will return to the Board for additional action to address compaction issues.
Therefore, the Director of Human Resources requests adoption of a Resolution amending the Table and Index of Classes, as outlined in Exhibit “A,” effective August 6, 2022, with no net increase in full-time equivalents, and an impact to the General Fund.
