Merit Appeals Board September 29, 2023 So, that's in the works. We're anticipating that to be done by the middle of next month. And then, Glynis has been helpful in training some of the existing clerical staff that have those duties as part of their other related duties in performing some of the functions she's performing now. So, we have that backup to go with this new HR assistant position would be for the dedicated backup to assist Glynis. CHR. CABANAS: And that's a new position? MR. PATEL: It would be a reallocation of an existing position. CHR. CABANAS: An existing person. MR. PATEL: Yeah. CHR. CABANAS: Okay. And that person would MR. PATEL: It's a vacant position. CHR. CABANAS: Oh, vacant. MR. PATEL: Yeah. CHR. CABANAS: So, once you fill that position, that person would accompany Glynis to the MAB meetings? MR. PATEL: Yes. CHR. CABANAS: Okay, good. MR. PATEL: That's it for that one. Everything else is pretty much—we're still pushing forward. The other thing I'd like to highlight is with the R&E Division. So, the NeoGov text messaging was implemented as of the beginning of this month. So, more recently, it's come to light that some departments haven't been using or pushing out notifications with the text messaging. So, we just followed up this week clearly stating that it's mandatory that it be used across-the-board. The way the system works is that when someone goes in and creates a profile, they can opt into the text messaging. So, if someone opts in and then applies for different positions across departments—and one department uses the text and the other one doesn't—that could lead to dropped balls, basically, where they're waiting for the text and nothing comes through. So, across-the-board everyone's required to use the text messaging. CHR. CABANAS: And the texting would be application received, scheduling of interview, et cetera? Page 17
