Employee & Labor Relations

The Labor Relations Manager represents the CEO during negotiations. The manager is the primary point of contact regarding wages, hours, terms, and conditions of employment. Placer County has two bargaining units. They are Placer Public Employees Organization (PPEO) represented by Local 39 and Placer County Deputy Sheriff’s Association (PCDSA).

The manager also does the following:

• Negotiates labor agreements with recognized employee organizations PPEO/Local 39, Deputy Sheriff’s Association (DSA) and In Home Support Services (IHSS)
• Resolves contract disputes
• Negotiates policy changes and side-table agreements
• Provides guidance and policy advice to County management, CEO, and Board of Supervisors (BOS) regarding labor relations issues

Review the Human Resources Rules and Regulations (Chapter 3).

Memorandums of Understanding

Memorandums of Understanding are the negotiated labor agreements between Placer County and the Bargaining Units.

Grievance

Placer County strives to establish and maintain harmonious and cooperative relationships between the County and its employees. Therefore, an orderly grievance procedure has been established for the settlement of differences. This keeps the channels of communication open, free from interference, restraint, coercion or reprisal. This procedure applies to all employees of the County.
