This is accomplished through consulting with consituents in areas such as wage and salary research and recommendations, assistance with creating or modifying job descriptions and hiring specifications, assistance with requests for new positions and reclassifications of existing positions, consultation relating to unit startups, reorganizations, and reductions in force, and oversight and education relating to legal compliance issues.
