RECOMMENDATIONS

ESTABLISH a new, Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)-Exempt classification of Human Resources Specialist with a five percent (5%) increase between steps, with each step rounded down to the nearest whole dollar: Step 1 through Step 5 ($61,444 - $74,684).

BACKGROUND

The Authority currently has one full-time human resources staff person, the Director of Human Resources, for 100 budgeted positions. Due to ongoing recruitment challenges and various leaves of absences, the Authority is in need of a full-time human resources specialist to assist the Director with recruitment, selection, onboarding, performance management, maintaining human resources files and data management, conduct salary surveys and payroll processing. Over the past years, the Authority has periodically hired temporary staff to provide support with these duties and special projects. However, the Authority needs a full-time specialist to assist the Director. The job description for the Human Resources Specialist position is attached. The proposed classification and salary were developed based on a review of salaries in the area.

FISCAL IMPACT

Funding for this position has been approved by the Board in the Authority’s current budget.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION

Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve the action, the Housing Authority would be unable to employ permanent staff and will continue to utilize a temporary staffing agency to provide human resources services to the Authority.
