Review proposed Board Policy regarding paid sick leave for temporary employees Human Resources Manager Teji O'Malley explained staff's recommendation that the discretionary items under the Healthy Workplaces /Healthy Families Act of 2014 (Assembly Bill 1522) be memorialized in a new Board policy. She noted that for represented (permanent) employees such benefits are negotiated and set forth in the Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs). However, for unrepresented (temporary) employees, for whom there is no negotiated benefit, a Board policy was the appropriate place to memorialize those benefits for which the Board has discretion. Ms. O'Malley noted that her staff contacted a number of other private sector employers as well as public agencies and none of those polled had plans to implement the new regulations beyond the minimum levels mandated in the legislation. She said staff's recommendation was to implement all discretionary items of AB 1522 at minimum levels, set forth in a new Board Policy entitled "Sick Leave for Temporary Employees." Ms. O'Malley also noted that both the non - discretionary and discretionary items related to Assembly Bill 1522 have been incorporated into an updated Human Resource Procedure that will become effective July 1, 2015 and will apply to all permanent and temporary employees. COMMITTEE ACTION: Recommended Board approval. 5. Update on Benefits Renewal for Plan Year 2015 -16 Ms. O'Malley, referring to the memo contained in the agenda packet, noted that for the first time in the District's history, the annual premium for Kaiser medical coverage would be decreasing by 2.8 percent for the coming fiscal year. She responded to questions from the Committee as to possible reasons for the decrease. COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update. 6. Receive supplemental information on reducing liability self- insurance retention from $1 million to $500,000 The Committee requested additional information as to premium costs at different levels of insurance before making a determination on the best course of action to recommend to the Board.
