Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution allows for the double fill of a Customer Service Representative within Metro Transit. This double fill would occur from March 18, 2022 to May 1, 2022. The employee on leave has exhausted paid leave balances, so additional costs from the double fill would be for benefit costs. The additional costs from this double fill are expected to be less than $1,000.
Title
Approving the continued double fill of one full time Customer Service Representative position on March 18, 2022 due to a leave and anticipated layoff in the unit.
Body
Metro Transit has a full time Customer Service Representative currently on leave of absence. Metro anticipates other possible leaves and staff changes that could impact the ability of the unit to provide adequate customer service at a time when the department is in the process of major service and routing changes with a network redesign. An increase in feedback, questions and the need for public information is expected.
