191-FN-A - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT increasing the differential pay for certain employees of the Glencliff home.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Health & Human Services states this bill will increase state general fund expenditures by $49,863 in FY 2009 and $129,643 in FY 2010 and each fiscal year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local expenditures or state, county, and local revenue.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) states this bill increases the differential pay for direct care providers at the Glencliff home by $20 per week, and provides a labor grade increase to licensed nurse’s aids certified capable of administering medication. DHHS calculated the fiscal impact of this bill without considering potential step increases and negotiated pay increases. DHHS calculated the FY 2009 fiscal impact by assuming this bill would be effective for the final 10 pay periods of the fiscal year.
Direct Care Differential Increase
98 employees x $20 increase per week x 2 weeks per pay period x 26 pay periods per year =
$101,920 annual salary increase
$101,920 x .1977 for benefits (Social Security, Medicare, retirement) = $20,150
Total: $101,920 + $20,150 = $122,070
Medication Administration Labor Grade Increase
320 employee hours per pay period x $0.76 per hour increase x 26 pay periods per year =
$6,323 annual salary increase
$6,323 x .1977 for benefits (Social Security, Medicare, retirement) = $1,250
Total: $6,323 + $1,250 = $7,573
