Commission reviews and approves reclassification, retroactive pay for jail administrator role
Summary
The commission discussed an employee status form for the county correctional facility administrator, accepted an HR‑graded pay grade and agreed to make the new grade retroactive to the employee’s start date under the interim assignment.
Commissioners discussed item 48, an employee‑status form covering the correctional center administrator position following a reclassification process handled by Human Resources.
County staff and HR explained that the position originally appeared on the status form with a grade (21‑1) that matches a jail administrator grade used previously; HR recommended the position be graded at Grade 18, step 4 (noted in the meeting as an 18‑4 grade). County leadership said they had worked with HR to develop a job description that aligns the duties with the Grade‑18 classification and the commission discussed making pay retroactive to the administrator’s appointment date.
Andy (identified in the discussion as the correctional‑center lead involved in the reorganization) described restructuring steps he had taken at the facility and said the new job description and grade better reflect duties under the county’s revised structure. HR and the sheriff’s office staff supported the Grade‑18 classification and suggested a retroactive effective date tied to the employee’s appointment in April; commissioners and the appointing authority agreed to set April 16 as the retroactive start date for pay adjustment.
Action: commissioners approved the reclassification and the retroactive effective date as part of the consent process after pulling the item for discussion. Staff said they would adjust the status form to reflect the agreed grade and start date and process the payroll adjustments accordingly.
What’s next: HR will update internal documentation and payroll to reflect the Grade‑18 classification and the retroactive start date; the county indicated the revised job description would be posted internally and retained for reference in future classification work.
