Merit Appeals Board <br />June 25, 2024 <br />So, we want to make it as broad and—as possible to provide as many options as possible so <br />that—because we can't guarantee a position. But, ideally, if we've invested in this person for <br />two years and provided this mentorship and provided this opportunity, certainly, if departments <br />have positions open that would be appropriate, they're going to want to try and see if they could <br />make this work. <br />But, again, you have to go through the regular recruitment process for all of our positions. <br />MS. MATHEWS: And what's in it for the mentor? Do they get a bonus? Do they get—what do <br />they get for this extra work that they're taking on? <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: They get—it, essentially, becomes an additional employee that they're not <br />paying for because all the salaries and wages and benefits are paid for by HR. So, in exchange, <br />they're getting an additional position that, hopefully, while the person is learning in the <br />department—that person is also providing services to the department as well. <br />MS. MATHEWS: I was talking about the individual mentor that's doing this. <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yeah. So, there is no special compensation for an individual mentor. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, I have a couple more questions. So, what is the status of this person <br />that you hire? Are they a limited term with—what's their status? So, let's say they're civil <br />service employee and they go into this mentoring program they get trained. Let's say they get <br />trained at the Planning Department and then they complete their training. And then, there's no <br />position for them. They go back to their position, so they were what—were limited term in this <br />training program? <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yes, these are. <br />CHR. CABANAS: And if there's no position, they revert back? <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: If they were current employee <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yes. <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. And if they're not a current employee, then their employment ends? <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: `Cause it's a limited term appointment. But limited term appointments get <br />credit for the time served—if I'm trying to remember now. They get credit, right, for the time <br />served should there be another position, right? <br />Page 14 <br />
