  1. Professional Practices Committee: The Professional Practices Committee shall be established consisting of no more than three (3) employees selected by the Union who are covered by this Memorandum of Understanding.  The objectives of the Professional Practices Committee shall be to consider constructively the professional practice of medical technology and to consider ways and means to improve medical technology.  The Clinical Services Managers in the Public Health Laboratory and the San Mateo Medical Center Laboratory shall meet with the Professional Practices Committee, upon request, for a meeting of no longer than two (2) hours to discuss the activities of the Professional Practices Committee.  There shall be no more than one (1) bi-monthly meeting and the Professional Practices Committee shall be excused from duty with pay to attend such meeting.

  3. Lead Workers: Clinical Laboratory Scientists assigned to be lead workers shall receive a one-step differential in addition to all other compensation. Only three (3) Clinical Laboratory Scientists may be assigned at any given time. Employees may be designated as lead over microbiology, point of care, or the blood bank to provide technical oversight, department scheduling, coverage and staff leadership. 
  4. Charge CLS: Effective the first full pay period following BOS approval of a successor MOU in 2022, employees assigned as “Charge CLS” will receive a three percent (3%) differential for hours assigned as Charge CLS only, when neither a supervisor and lead is on duty.
  5. Continuing Educational Leave: All employees in the classifications of, Clinical Laboratory Scientist I, Clinical Laboratory Scientist II, Supervising Clinical Laboratory Scientist, Public Health Microbiologist I, and Public Health Microbiologist II shall be allowed three (3) days of educational leave each fiscal year under prescribed policies.    The three (3) days is meant to provide a baseline commitment to the continuing educational needs of the unit’s employees for licensure and does not constitute a limit on time for additional training that may be needed by the employee or the department.
  6. Cross Trained Scientists Differential: Cross-trained Clinical Laboratory Scientists shall receive an extra two and one-half percent (2.5%) for being cross-trained in two areas of specialization. Cross-trained Clinical Laboratory Scientists shall receive an extra five percent (5%) for being cross-trained in three (3) or more areas of specialization.
  7. No Salary Linkage: County does not commit to ongoing linkage in salaries between Microbiologist (Public Health) and Clinical Lab Scientist (SMMC).
  8. Night Shift Differential: Employees in job classifications in the Clinical Laboratory Scientist Unit who are regularly assigned by a supervisor to work the night shift, as defined by the County, at the San Mateo County Medical Center shall be paid shift differential rate of twelve percent (12%) for all hours worked during such shift. This is in lieu of shift differential provided under Section 8 (entitled “Shift Differential”) of the MOU between the parties.

To be eligible for shift differential, such shifts must be approved by the Department Head or designee. Time worked on a flexible schedule requested by the employee and approved by the supervisor shall not be eligible for shift differential. 

  • Discussion Regarding Conversion of Vacant Positions: The County will meet with the Union prior to converting any vacant Clinical Laboratory Scientist or vacant Laboratory Assistant position to a Medical Laboratory Technician to discuss the rationale for doing so.
  • Within one hundred twenty (120) days of Board of Supervisors’ approval of a successor MOU in 2022, the County will conduct a compensation study for the Clinical Laboratory Scientist series, including the supervisor.
