Mendocino County Municipal Code Ch. 3.20 Transfer of State Mental Health Employees

All persons holding State of California civil service positions in Mental Health Social Services, Department of Mental Health (Ukiah office) preceding the effective date of the assumption of this function by the County of Mendocino shall, on the effective date, be considered permanent employees of the County with waiver of medical examination and probationary period, and shall be allocated to County job classifications comparable to those in State service.

(Ord. No. 3354, adopted 1981.)

Employees being transferred from State service who are receiving a salary at the top step of the State salary range for their classification shall be assigned to the top step in the salary range established for the comparable classification in County service. If the transfer to a County classification results in reclassification and assignment to a lower pay range, the Board of Supervisors may direct that the employee be "Y-rated" on payroll and personnel records, and that he/she continue to receive a salary at or nearest the authorized State salary in effect at the time of assumption of the State function. Such employee shall be "Y-rated" until termination of employment in the position or until a higher rate of pay may be authorized for the County classification, whichever occurs first.

(Ord. No. 3354, adopted 1981.)

State Mental Health employees brought into County service shall enter with credit for length of service going back to their most recent date of hire with the State. Such employees shall carry into County service their full sick leave balance and, although entering with no vacation balance, shall accrue vacation at the schedule provided in Section 3.04.150 of this Ordinance. These employees shall be eligible to use vacation upon accrual of a balance.
