SUBJECT: P300#dodo in the Human Resources Department
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution Number to RECLASSIFY one (1) Clerk-Senior Level
position (represented), and to RECLASSIFY one (1) Account Clerk-Advanced Level position
(represented) to Human Resources Technicians (unrepresented) in the Human Resources
Department.
BACKGROUND:
The Human Resources Department conducted an analysis of its various units for the purpose of
reorganizing its operation in order to provide more efficient administrative, labor, benefits, and
recruitment services to County departments. Reorganization efforts began earlier this year in the
Labor Relations Unit. The purpose of this request is to address reorganization in the Employee
Benefits Services Unit.
Human Resources Department management developed a succession plan for each of its units. The
succession plan includes creating a career path for Human Resources employees, cross-training
opportunities, and providing an environment for employee education and growth. The plan also
addresses changing responsibilities and Human Resources role in providing superior customer
service to County departments in order to meet their increasing personnel, recruitment, classification,
labor, and benefits needs.
The Human Resources Technician classification will serve as the first professional level position
within the Employee Benefits Services Unit. The Human Resources Technician classification will also
provide the training necessary to promote to higher-level Human Resources positions.
The Employee Benefits Unit has experienced staffing and work load changes, due in large part to
streamlining retiree health benefits payment processing, enhancing employee benefits
communications, and research and development of solutions regarding GASB liability. Staff
determined that along with modifications to existing d esponsibilities, and the reclassification of

BACKGROUND (Continued):
one Clerk-Senior Level position and one Account-Clerk Advanced Level position will alleviate the
increased clerical and administrative workload created by these significant employee/retiree benefits
issues.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total fiscal impact of this request is $6,000 and the fiscal impact for this fiscal year is $2,500.
However, this cost will be 100% offset by charges to user departments through the Benefit
Administration fee.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve these reclassifications will result in staffing working out of class and will negatively
impact the Employee Benefits Service Unit's ability to respond employee and retiree inquiries as a
result of the ongoing changes within the Employee Benefits Unit.
