County reports 20 employees accepted voluntary separation incentive; estimated annual savings $2.1 million
Summary
Human resources reported 20 employees accepted the county's voluntary separation incentive after the revocation period concluded; eight employees declined. Staff estimate roughly $2.1 million in annual salary savings, of which about $571,000 affects the general fund.
Mendocino County's human resources director updated supervisors July 8 on the voluntary separation incentive plan, reporting 20 employees have submitted resignations after the seven-day revocation period concluded and eight employees declined during the waiting period.
Sherry Johnson, director of human resources, told the board the current tally represents an estimated annual savings of approximately $2,100,000 across all funds, with about $571,000 of that in the general fund. Johnson said the numbers are preliminary and that savings are not all general-fund reductions.
Why it matters: The voluntary separation program is intended to reduce payroll costs while allowing departments to adjust staffing. Supervisors heard the preliminary numbers and asked no substantive questions at the July 8 meeting.
Ending: Human resources will continue administering the program and report back as vacancies are processed and departments identify staffing and service-impact needs.
