Westchester HR tells committee it does not track how many employees have student loans
Summary
Acting Human Resources Commissioner Gina Pickenich told the committee that Westchester County does not have centralized data on employee student-loan status and confirmed the county processes tuition reimbursement manually in some cases.
When asked whether the county has data on how many employees carry student loans, Acting Commissioner of Human Resources Gina Pickenich responded, "We we don't have any data on that." She added that the HR office gathers paperwork and validates documentation and that the county has an existing process for tuition reimbursement.
Pickenich said the county could consider whether a paid benefit should be offered and that any decision about subsidizing a vendor or passing costs to employees would be a matter for internal discussion. The committee did not set a timeline or directive for collecting employee student-loan data during the meeting.
