Lenox council approves on‑demand HR services and compensation study
Summary
The Lenox City Council approved a contract for on‑demand human resources services with Alternative HR and authorized a compensation study. The arrangement includes a low monthly access fee plus hourly billing and an estimated $6,000 cost for a compensation study.
Council approved an on‑demand human resources contract with Alternative HR to provide HR practice access, employment‑law assistance and support for a compensation study and performance review process.
Staff described the arrangement as an on‑demand service rather than a full‑time HR hire. The package includes a monthly access fee and additional hours billed at an hourly rate; staff said a compensation study would cost roughly $6,000 and is overdue. Council members said they want the consultant to help align merit pay and performance review matrices with market data.
A motion to accept the Alternative HR proposal passed by voice vote; staff will work with the consultant on the compensation study and incorporate consultant input into this year's performance evaluation process.
