Information

Referral History:

During the April 26, 2022 Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board requested the Human Resources Director to identify and report to the Internal Operations Committee options for replacing retired County employees more quickly. The referral came about in the context of waiving the 180-day separation before rehiring a retiree. The Health Services Director explained that even when an employee's retirement plans are known, the department cannot open a recruitment until the position is becomes vacant. The County Administrator advised the Board that the County can and has created limited-term positions so that retirees' and new hires' tenures can overlap briefly to facilitate a smoother transition. The Board requested information on available options for key departing staff more expediently to avoid having to temporarily rehire the just-retired person while the County recruits. The Board acknowledged that a person can retire with little or no advance notice to the County.
