Authorization to Fill Part-Time Nurse Position at $20/hour at Webb County Jail
Submitted for:
Martin Cuellar
Submitted By:
Anita Guerra
Department:
Sheriff
Subject:
Discussion and possible action to approve the posting and filling of a vacant part-time Nurse/Paramedic at the hourly rate of $20.00 to work at the Webb County Jail for the Webb County Sheriff's Office; and any other matters incident thereto. The operational general order states that pay for part-time employees cannot exceed $15/hr. unless specific approval to pay more is authorized by Commissioners Court.
[Account #1001-4070-001-412000 (Jail Bargaining Unit Administration Part-Time)]
Issue:
The part-time nurse/paramedic, who previously held this position at the pay rate of $20/hour, transferred to another dept. This leaves the Webb County Jail without 1 of the part-time nurses needed to maintain medical staffing levels. However, due to competitive labor market forces, nurses are paid at a higher rate (at the aforementioned rate) than the rate currently allowed by Webb County policy to pay part-time employees.
Solution:
Seek approval from the Webb County Commissioners' Court to pay this part-time employee at the effective pay rate needed to recruit a nurse to work part-time at the Webb County Jail.
Result:
The Webb County Jail will maintain sufficient staffing in its medical division.
Background:
Due to competitive labor market forces, nurses are paid at a higher rate than the rate currently allowed by Webb County policy to pay part-time employees. The previous part-time nurse/paramedic who was paid at this rate transferred to another Webb County Department.
