BY: HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE — JOHN SCOTT, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT — POSITION CHANGES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, as a result of improvements in the economy, an increase in the filling of vacant
positions, and changes from federal and state regulations that impact employee benefits, the Human
Resources Department has examined its operations and future personnel requirements; and
WHEREAS, several position changes are needed to align staff with department needs; and
WHEREAS, we are experiencing an increase in the requests to fill County positions, thus
increasing the workload of the Recruitment and Workforce Planning area of the Human Resources
Department; and
WHEREAS, a need has been identified for a position to market the County as an employer of
choice in order to attract and retain a qualified workforce; and
WHEREAS, in addition to marketing, this position will also focus on creating materials for job fairs
and advertising, coordinating the onboarding of new employees and an exit interview program and efforts
to retain current employees; and
WHEREAS, an Office Assistant ll is currently under-filling a Human Resources Analyst II position
in the Recruitment and Workforce Planning Unit; and
WHEREAS, is it proposed to create one (1) full-time eligible GF/GP Office Assistant II position in
the Workforce Management Division, Recruitment & Workforce Planning Unit (#1050402), at the three
year step, to continue to provide clerical support to the Recruitment function of the division, thus freeing up
the Human Resources Analyst II position to perform Recruitment and Workforce Planning duties; and
WHEREAS, it has also been determined that a working supervisor is now needed to oversee the
daily workflow of the compensation and classification area due to the increasing demands of the
Recruitment area that currently shares a supervisor position; and
WHEREAS, it is requested to create a new classification titled Compensation & Classification
Supervisor at a salary grade 14, overtime exempt; and
WHEREAS, the Employee Benefits Unit in the Benefits Administration Division has a need for a
Human Resources Analyst I position to provide analytical support to the unit because of implementation
and changes as a result of State of MI PA 152 of 2011 and the Affordable Care Act; and
WHEREAS, it is important for the County to ensure compliance with regulations in order to avoid
fees and penalties, as well as continue to offer a benefits package that is competitive with the local labor
market; and
WHEREAS, it is proposed to create one (1) PR funded full-time eligible Human Resources
Analyst I position in the Benefits Unit (#1050520); and
WHEREAS, a recent Miscellaneous Resolution from a Management and Budget reorganization
has savings that can be applied to the GF/GP funded Human Resources position changes; and
WHEREAS, these changes result in no extra GF/GP funding needed and PR funding is available
within the Fringe Benefit Fund.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
authorizes the Human Resources Department to create a new classification titled Compensation &
Classification Supervisor, at a salary grade 14, overtime exempt.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED to create one (1) GF/GP full-time eligible Office Assistant II
position, at the three year step, in the Workforce Planning Division, Recruitment and Workforce Planning
Unit (#1050402).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED to create one (1) PR funded full-time eligible Human Resources
Analyst I position in the Benefits Administration Division, Employee Benefits Unit (#1050520).
Chairperson, on behalf of the Human Resources Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution.
