NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves the expansion of the County Bounty program to include certain part-time, non-eligible, difficult to fill classifications as identified by the Personnel Department, and approves a monetary award to be paid to County employees for this purpose. Guidelines specific to part-time, non- eligible referral awards will be developed and administered by the Personnel Department/Human Resource Division, and will be similar to those guidelines currently designated for full-time referrals with certain exceptions, including the following: The referred part-time non-eligible candidate cannot have been previously employed by Oakland County in any capacity, and must complete 520 hours of work within a one year period after the initial hire date in order for the recruiter to be eligible for the award. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that notification of the "County Bounty" for part-time, non- eligible candidates will be posted in a manner similar to that for full-time candidates. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the award will come from non-designated fund balances in the department where the vacancy exists, will be determined and authorized by the Personnel Department, and will be clearly specified at the time the award is announced. The amount will be established based on a formula not to exceed 2% of the annualized base rate of a given classification in affect at the time the award is announced, and not to exceed a maximum of $1,000 per hire. Chairperson, on behalf of the Personnel Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
