It’s official: Board of Supervisors ratifies contract Feb. 28
Scroll down for translations in Spanish, Vietnamese, and Chinese.
“It was a lot of hard work, but we stood strong together to make the Board of Supervisors listen to our issues. Now we have improvements to our pay problems, and our wages and benefits are protected for another two years. We can accomplish a lot when we stand together. Congratulations, everyone!”
— Ellen Rollins, Region 6 Vice President
After hundreds of home care workers took action and forced the Board of Supervisors to listen, they won a fair contract with the following protections:
- Wages and benefits are protected for the next two years
- Ability to open contract if more funding is available to improve wages and/or benefits
- A process to ensure their timecards are processed within 7 days from the date they are received AND time-stamped in the office. This language holds the County accountable, with a grievance process if they don’t follow this policy. This is legally binding language that requires the County to stick to a timeline. Finally!
TAKE ACTION:

Spanish/Español:
Después de que cientos de trabajadores de cuidado en el hogar tomó medidas y obligó a la Junta de Supervisores para escuchar, hemos sido capaces de ganar un contrato justo con las siguientes protecciones:
- Los salarios y los beneficios están protegidos por los próximos dos años
- La capacidad de abrir más de contrato, si hay fondos disponibles para mejorar los salarios y / o beneficios
- Un proceso para asegurarse de que sus tarjetas de tiempo se procesan dentro de 7 días desde la fecha de su recepción y una marca de tiempo en la oficina de IHSS. Esta letra tiene el Condado de rendición de cuentas, con un proceso de queja, si no lo hacen. Esa letra es protegida legalmente y requiere que el Condado se adhieren a una línea de tiempo-POR FIN!

Prior to this i had already thanken a cut in hours and was receiving only 1 check per month due to processing of payroll and was told due they only had 1 person entering payroll due to budget cuts. Finally payroll will be entered with in a timely fashion and timecards will be available for upcomming payroll periods. Great Job !
