Description
3 additional FTEs
Brief Description of Program or Service Enhancement:
3 FTEs would bring the entire office to FTE status. The position requires obtaining national certification and a high level of training to perform a job that is vital to public safety.
Current staffing is 2 FTEs and 5 "casual help". The "casual help" are doing the exact same job as the FTEs.
Advantages of Approval:
The addition of 3 FTEs would mean the office was fully staffed by FTEs. There would be no need for casual staff any longer and the staff would be compensated appropriately for the professional
and difficult job they are doing,
Implications of Denial:
The office would still have to rely on casual help for the majority of the work. The county definition of casual help is an employee hired to work "intermittently as needed". The casual
staff (three of whom have been here over 2 years) work assigned shifts every week all year long and certainly do no fall under the category of "intermittently as needed".
It is not right to treat county employees this way asking them to continually do a difficult job, that most people could not or do not want to do, and not compensate them accordingly.
