Council approves short-term reclassification for county front-desk worker to cover HR duties
Summary
Commissioners approved reclassifying an administrative clerk to administrative assistant (commot B to D) for the remainder of the year and a $1,300 transfer to cover pay; the change recognizes added HR responsibilities while the HR employee is out.
Warrick County commissioners approved a temporary reclassification and a $1,300 transfer to cover the remainder of the year for a front-desk employee taking on HR duties while the HR staff person is out.
County administrator Debbie Bennett said the reclassification for Liz Whitney reflects additional HR duties she has taken on in the interim and that the board had already approved the position in the budget to start in January. "She's very underpaid for all of her classification... I'm just afraid I'll lose her if she doesn't get some kind of incentive to stay," Bennett said. The board approved the classification change from commot B to commot D and the transfer to cover the pay differential; the motion passed 5-1 with one commissioner opposed who cited precedent concerns.
County staff will implement the pay change for the four-month interim period and incorporate the permanent reclassification in next year's budget as previously approved at budget hearings.
