HR outlines class-and-comp implementation, NEOGOV rollout and summer internship plans
Summary
Human Resources manager presented implementation steps for the recently adopted class-and-comp study, described phases of the NEOGOV applicant-tracking and HRIS rollout, and confirmed continuation of the summer youth internship program and a tuition‑reimbursement pilot.
Human Resources manager (presented as Miss Hopkins) briefed the Finance Committee on April 22 on the city's implementation of a comprehensive class-and-compensation study and related human-resources initiatives, including NEOGOV modules, career-ladder planning and summer youth employment.
Hopkins told the committee the completed class-and-comp study required extensive position-title and grade updates and a forward-looking approach to converting employment-agreement positions over the next five years. She said the city has built a framework for career ladders and will work with departments to finalize criteria for promotion pathways.
On technology, Hopkins said the city is implementing NEOGOV modules to modernize recruitment and records: applicant tracking and attract modules to broaden candidate outreach, TestingGenius for targeted assessments, and a planned HRIS payroll integration. "Let's get people out of handling paper. Let's get people just approving and really focus on the intellectual work and be able to move things forward more quickly," Hopkins said, describing the goal of electronic personnel files and integrated performance-review records.
Hopkins described the summer youth internship program as continuing in FY26: departmental placements will be coordinated with Recreation & Parks and HR, pay rates are set at $15 per hour for the youth program and $17 for departmental placements, and payroll will route through HR. She said HR will publish the notice on NEOGOV and urged council members who want an intern to send a clear description of duties so HR can match candidates and maintain a structured interview process.
On benefits and other programs, Hopkins said the city will fund a tuition-reimbursement pool (previously approved) and will finalize the program guide and application process this year. The department also said it has implemented changes related to controlled-substance screening and will issue a memo about the new screening policy.
Ending: Hopkins said HR will continue to refine performance measures and to work with departments to finalize job descriptions and career-ladder criteria. She agreed to circulate the summer-internship announcement and to provide follow-up documentation on NEOGOV rollout timelines and the tuition-reimbursement schedule.
