Background Information:
Ms. Moore was hired as the Child Support Services Director in 2013. Ms. Moore’s employment agreement is set to expire August 31, 2025. The proposed agreement is a three-year term with an expiration date of August 31, 2028. The salary within the employment agreement is status quo.
The benefits contained in the employment agreement reflect the standard benefits provided in department head contracts which include a cell phone allowance of $60 per month, 240 hours of Personal Time Off (PTO) per year, 40 hours of Management Time Off per fiscal year, one (1) personal holiday per fiscal year, Parental Leave, Bereavement Leave and participation in County sponsored Deferred Compensation plan on the same terms as employees in the Tehama County Management Employees Association (TCMEA).
Additionally, the proposed agreement clarifies Ms. Moore is considered a local miscellaneous member of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), and a "New” employee as defined in the California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 and stipulates Ms. Moore shall participate in the CalPERS 2% at 62 defined benefit program. Ms. Moore will be required to pay the employee member contribution equal to eight percent (8%) of her compensation up to the maximum limit established by CalPERS. The County will not pay any portion of this contribution on behalf of Ms. Moore.
This is a contract, overtime exempt position. In the event the County of Tehama agrees to a percentage increase in salary after the effective date of this contract, for all classifications represented by TCMEA, Ms. Moore's salary will be increased by an equal percentage.
Without Board of Supervisor approval, Ms. Moore's employment agreement will expire on August 31, 2025.
