Six-month follow-up: State human-resources division has partially implemented CBA tracking and standardization
Summary
A six-month follow-up presented to the Executive Branch Audit Committee found partial implementation of recommendations to standardize collective bargaining agreement language, create a database to track CBA pay and benefits, and provide guidance and training; the state's new HR system (AdvantageForce) is scheduled to go live in October.
A six-month follow-up presented July 29 found the Division of Human Resource Management (DHRM) has partially implemented multiple recommendations aimed at standardizing collective bargaining agreement (CBA) language, creating systems to track CBA pay and benefit provisions, and providing guidance and tools to monitor CBAs prior to implementation.
"Recommendation 1 to standardize and clarify CBA language has been partially implemented," Audit Manager Beatriz Meno Ortiz reported to the committee. She said the division conducted a comprehensive review but that standardization remains limited because contract language must be mutually agreed with labor organizations.
The auditors reported partial progress on developing a database to track pay and benefit provisions; the division is working with the Office of Project Management and said the AdvantageForce system is being tailored to link employee positions with bargaining units. Administrator Becherra Washington (identified in the meeting) told the committee that AdvantageForce should be able to identify which job titles belong to which CBAs and that the system’s go-live is planned for October, with employee and manager self-service to follow.
The report said training on newly negotiated CBAs has begun and that labor-relations staff are conducting sessions for departments and the Nevada System of Higher Education. The audit presentation thanked DHRM leadership and said staff are available for follow-up questions.
This was an informational follow-up and no committee action was taken at the meeting.
