Valley County outlines hires and biweekly payroll transition; dozens of county positions posted
Summary
County human-resources staff told commissioners they have multiple recruitments underway, several new hires starting in coming weeks, and a payroll schedule shift to biweekly payframes beginning Sept. 28 with first biweekly checks on Oct. 17.
Valley County human-resources staff reported a broad recruitment push and a planned payroll cadence change during the Sept. 10 commissioner meeting.
Director Savoy (presenting recruitment updates) said the county has a long list of positions either posted or to be posted, including 9-1-1 dispatcher, patrol deputy, detention deputy, civil clerk, road department director, mechanic, inventory specialist, weed-and-pest technician, snow groomer, chief deputy prosecutor, civil attorney, IT technician, appraiser, deputy recorder, HVAC journeyman and custodian. Savoy also said four new employees will start next week (a DMV clerk, a plat clerk, a detention deputy and a building technician), with additional sworn staff joining in the following weeks.
Savoy told the board the county will convert to biweekly payroll beginning Sept. 28; employees will see their first biweekly paycheck on Oct. 17. Staff also said they are in open enrollment for benefits and are processing enrollment forms.
Commissioners did not take formal action on hiring or payroll at the Sept. 10 session; the report was informational. The county said it will implement approved pay raises already authorized by the commission in the new payroll system.
