Human resources presented the first quarterly compensation report for fiscal year 2026 and sought committee approval for classification changes affecting county staff.
Haley Matthews, supervisor of the compensation team, said the changes stem from job analysis questionnaires completed for the affected positions. She described one requested job study in Neighborhood and Housing Development that led to a salary-grade change and noted two Court Counsel positions were reclassified to better reflect their focus on labor and employment matters.
The committee questioned the drivers behind the changes and whether the factors were supported by the job analysis; Matthews said the JAQ (job analysis questionnaire) process and factor evaluation produced the recommended changes. If approved by the board, the reclassifications would take effect Jan. 24, 2026.
The committee voted to recommend the HR salary-administration plan to the full board.
Next steps: The recommendation will go to the full board for final action, and the HR department will implement changes if the board approves them.
