PRESENTATION AND/OR APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATIONS
FROM HUNTER HUMAN RESOURCES EXTENSION REGARDING A
CLERICAL STUDY FOR POSITIONS CLASSIFIED FROM GRADE 57
THROUGH 65 IN THE IREDELL COUNTY PAY PLAN: Human Resources
Director Carolyn Harris introduced Jan Hunter, of Hunter Human Resources Extension,
in reference to a recent clerical pay and position classification study.
Hunter reviewed 138 positions and recommended that 16 of them be reclassified.
She said four positions under the State Personnel Act/Competitive Service System
(Health & Social Services employees) were recommended for upgrades; however, the
State did not approve them. She also said that 21 job titles had been changed to more
accurately reflect the work being done, but these did not result in salary increases.
Harris said the annual cost for the 16 upgrades would be $21,319 and adequate
funds were in the budget.
It was the consensus of the board to approve Hunter's recommendations effective
October 1, 2002.
