Summary

Mister Ortiz outlined duties for the newly hired HR technician—onboarding scheduling, employee training coordination, filing and phone forwarding—and commissioners discussed training access and the idea of substituting proctoring or transcription duties; Elise, the HR tech, was introduced as being present at the meeting.

Mister Ortiz updated the Personnel Commission on duties the newly hired HR technician can perform for the commission’s side of district operations, listing onboarding coordination, scheduling employee training, filing and forwarding phones. "Some of the onboarding with new employees... scheduling those, filing and also forwarding of phones," he said, and suggested trading one of those duties for proctoring exams to provide additional support.

Commissioners asked about training access for the HR technician and noted that although the commission’s side attended a recent conference, the newly hired technician did not attend because the request was not approved. CSEA was present and the CSEA representative introduced the HR tech, saying, "This is Elise, and she is the HR tech that was just hired." Commissioners discussed pros and cons of phone-forwarding and the need for HR consent and salary clarification for shared duties.

Why it matters: assigning duties and training access determines how the commission uses a new staff resource and affects operational support for onboarding, testing, and transcription tasks that can enable more efficient recruitments.

What’s next: Staff will pursue details about hours and the possibility of assigning proctoring duties; commissioners agreed to continue outreach about training invitations and to share useful onboarding handouts with staff.
