Mendon board discusses job titles, HR liaison and onboarding processes
Summary
Board members reviewed recruitment language and who should receive signed employee handbook acknowledgments (supervisor vs. HR), discussed HR liaison roles, and asked staff to check civil-service rules before finalizing job titles and descriptions.
Board members worked through personnel sections of the proposed handbook and debated whether signed acknowledgments of receipt should be returned to department supervisors or the town board. The Chair advised sending signed acknowledgments to the supervisor for record-keeping, with HR maintaining official files.
The group discussed whether to adopt titles such as "HR liaison" and who should be responsible for benefits coordination. The Benefits coordinator (speaker 1) identified themselves as serving that function and noted staff will prepare onboarding materials; board members asked staff to check civil-service constraints for new or changed job titles and to propose clear job descriptions for each role. The board assigned follow-up tasks to produce draft job descriptions and to confirm which duties require civil-service classification before insertion into the handbook.
