Committee approves reclassification of Health West clinical staff, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2025
Summary
The Muskegon County Human Services Committee approved HS2503‑12 on March 11 to reclassify multiple Health West clinical positions to higher wage grades, effective retroactive to Jan. 1, 2025.
MUSKEGON, Mich. — The Muskegon County Human Services Committee on March 11 approved HS2503‑12, a personnel reclassification for Health West that moves several clinical positions to higher wage grades effective retroactively to Jan. 1, 2025.
The approved reclassifications are described in the motion as follows: three clinical manager positions from wage grade 10 to clinical manager 2 wage grade 11; 11 clinical supervisor positions from wage grade 9 to clinical supervisor 2 wage grade 10; and 16 masters-level clinician positions from wage grade 8 to masters-level clinician 2 wage grade 9. The motion specifies that employees will be placed on staff at the hourly wage associated with their current pay so the reclassifications "no increase, and not changing the employee's merit date," according to the motion language read aloud at the meeting.
The motion also grants Health West the authority to reclassify level‑1 positions to level‑2 in these classifications without requiring further board approval once staff achieve full licensure, per the language in the agenda item.
The motion was moved by Commissioner Nash and supported by Commissioner Cook. Discussion on the item was brief; one committee member thanked staff for streamlining the classifications. The committee approved the reclassifications by voice vote.
The reclassifications are retroactive to Jan. 1, 2025, as stated in the motion; the transcript did not specify budgetary source details beyond placement at current hourly wages.
