DCA human resources outlines executive officer evaluation and salary‑increase process for board
Summary
DCA human resources staff briefed the board on its annual executive officer appraisal process and described how a board‑initiated salary increase request would be submitted to the agency, governor’s office and CalHR.
The Department of Consumer Affairs’ personnel office gave the California Board of Naturopathic Medicine an overview on Jan. 23 of the executive officer (EO) evaluation and the process for requesting a salary increase.
Stephanie Louie of DCA’s Office of Human Resources explained that approximately one month before the May board meeting board members will receive detailed instructions and an appraisal form to evaluate the executive officer across four performance factors; the consolidated evaluation will be completed in closed session. The board chair then meets privately with the EO to discuss the final appraisal.
Salary increase process: DCA staff outlined that if the board pursues a salary increase for the executive officer, the request requires a motion and a board vote, a written chair’s justification explaining exemplary performance or other factors (retention challenges, scope increases, program growth), and review by the California Government and Consumer Services Agency, the governor's office and the California Department of Human Resources (CalHR). CalHR has authority to approve, modify or deny executive officer salary requests.
Why it matters: Board members asked about the salary maximum for the EO; DCA staff said they will provide the maximum salary information to the chair and to board members in advance of the May evaluation. DCA emphasized that the evaluation will become part of the EO’s personnel file and can be included with any salary request.
