The Personnel Committee, having reviewed Miscellaneous

recommendations:
Amend the NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED paragraph to read:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the creation, for difficult to fill
positions, of an optional supplemental incentive for new (non-present
employee) hiring to be offered upon the unanimous approval, for each
instance of creation for a specific classification and function, of
the Personnel Department, the Department of Management and Budget and
the approval by a majority vote of the Personnel Committee.
Amend the first BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED paragraph to read:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the amount of the optional

hire.
Add a new BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED paragraph to read:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that new hires, prior to acceptance of
the Optional Supplementary Incentive Bonus, must sign a statement

one (1) year of the initial employment. Pay-back remittances are
owed and payable in full within thirty (30) days of the termination
of employment with Oakland County.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #01200
BY: PERSONNEL COMMITTEE, THOMAS A. LAW, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT - CREATION OF AN OPTIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY
INCENTIVE FOR NEW (NON-PRESENT EMPLOYEE) HIRING FOR DIFFICULT TO
RECRUIT POSITIONS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS labor market conditions continue to pose recruitment
challenges for certain classifications, especially for certain
engineering and Information Technology classifications; and
WHEREAS the optional supplementary incentive concept has become
an accepted practice for a number of organizations; and
WHEREAS an optional supplement would offer an incentive to a
candidate to accept employment at Oakland County; and
WHEREAS this is a cost effective recruitment tool because it is
not a permanent increase to payroll costs and would be funded from a
department's salaries favorability through position vacancies; and
WHEREAS the Personnel Department, working with the hiring
department, will determine the need to award an incentive based on
recruitment efforts; and
WHEREAS Management and Budget will determine salaries
favorability within the department budget where the vacancy is located.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the creation, for difficult to fill positions,
of an optional supplemental incentive for new (non-present employee)
hiring to be offered upon the unanimous approval, for each instance of
creation for a specific classification and function, of the Personnel
Department, the Department of Management and Budget and the Personnel
Committee.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the amount of the optional
supplemental incentive be based on a formula not to exceed five (5)
percent of the maximum step of the salary range for the specific
classification identified.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funding for the optional supplemental
incentive must be available within the current departmental salaries
budget.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Personnel Department and the
Management and Budget Department report semi-annually to the Personnel
Committee and Finance Committee on the optional supplemental incentive
program and expenditures.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Personnel Committee, I move the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
