IN RE: Department of Personnel/Labor Relations - Merit System Rule Change Part-
Time Non-Eligible Appointments
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies, Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Section IV, Subsection A of the Merit System Resolution requires
that all changes in the rules and regulations of the Merit System shall be
submitted to the Board of Commissioners at a regular meeting of the Board and
shall become effective thirty (30) days after such meeting unless objection is
received in writing by the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners, in which
case the objection shall become a matter of business at the next meeting of the
Board; and
WHEREAS it has become desirable to make changes to Merit Rule 4.8 regarding
the appointment of part-time non-eligible employees as spelled out in the
attachments to this resolution; and
WHEREAS these revisions are recommended to address and accommodate
necessary changes involving the new Human Resource Financial Information System
(HRFIS), and will avoid extensive programming costs associated with accommodating
part-time non-eligible appointments as defined and tracked under the current
Merit System Rule; and
WHEREAS specialized programming of the new HRFIS System is not desirable
for the purpose and ease of implementing future upgrades to the system; and
WHEREAS this revision also provides ease and conformity in tracking the
total hours worked by employees in part-time non-eligible appointments.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the reading of this notice and the
attached copies of the proposed changes to Merit Rule 4.8, to all commissioners
present and absent, be considered as the official submission to the Board of
Commissioners of the described changes to Merit Rule 4.8.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance and Personnel Committee, I move the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
