RECOMMENDATION
title
Adopt a Resolution to amend the Departmental Allocation List for the Health and Human Services Agency effective March 26, 2024, with no net increase to full time equivalents. (Fiscal Impact: $135,000 annual expense; HHSA Fund; Budgeted; Discretionary)
body
BACKGROUND
Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) Administration performs critical administrative functions in support of human resources transactions and payroll processes. These responsibilities include the credentialing and privileging more than 130 licensed or certificated classifications, and managing the administrative processes for hiring, onboarding, performance management, and employee actions. The integrity of these processes depends on a team that includes Staff Services Analysts monitoring, analyzing, and operationalizing policies and procedures governed by various State and Federal regulatory bodies.
In March of 2023, this Board approved a limited term Staff Services Analyst I/II position because a Staff Services Analyst was on an extended leave of absence. The previously approved limited term position is set to expire April 30, 2024, and the extended leave of absence of the Staff Service Analyst continues. HHSA requests this limited term Staff Services Analyst I/II position be extended one additional year through April 30, 2025.
Staff requests the Board adopt a Resolution to amend the Departmental Allocation List for the Health and Human Services Agency effective March 26, 2024, with no net increase to full-time equivalents. Budgeted funds are available due to the continued absence.
