For information, there are several differences between the staffing proposal presented here and the staff proposal presented in the August 2003 Interim Report, These include: • Proposed positions based on the current APS staffing configuration rather than new staff, These positions initially would came into the County with current duties and responsibilities, The County job classification would be based on those duties and responsibilities, Employees would transition at current salaries unless, as is the case for about 12 employees, the current salary is below the minimum far the County salary range, In that case the salary would be increased to the minimum of the County salary range, Over time as the County determines the optimum organization, duties, policies and procedures, Shelter positions will evolve into those roles. After about a year, Personnel would conduct a restudy of the positions and job classifications to see if any classification changes are necessary to reflect these duty changes, Reduction in the number of Animal Care Technicians proposed from nine to a care group of five with a maximum of seven, Employee Transition APS currently employs 14,8 permanent employees in the Shelter and two part time employees, Staff proposes the County implement the employee transition in the same manner as that used with the transfer of Orange County Rescue Squad employees to County Emergency Management in June 2003, In this Personnel would: • Obtain from each employee a current application outlining his or her qualifications and work history for staff review. Obtain from each employee a position description reflecting his or her current duties and responsibilities for staff use in determining the appropriate position classification in the County classification and pay plan, • Compare the pay and benefits APS provides far its employees to those offered by the County and develop a specific pay and benefits information package for each employee using the same handling as for Rescue Squad employees. • Bring back to the BOCG far action a specific package of recommendations as to permanent positions to be established, any necessary amendments to the Classification and Pay Plan to recognize animal care positions, and any personnel policy actions necessary to facilitate the transfer such as authorization to transfer earned, unused Vacation Leave, • Provide that each APS employee transferring into a permanent County position would serve a probationary period of six months, as do other County employees.
