Merit Appeals Board October 4, 2024 <br />Departmental Staff Updates <br />CHR. CABANAS: So, we have two things, Sommer —one, is the "Departmental Staff <br />Updates" that's the first listed on the agenda. <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Okay, good morning, everyone. We have had some staff movements within <br />our office. So, we were fully staffed and now we're not —as is the challenge for a lot of our <br />departments —and Human Resources is no exception. <br />So, Lisa Nuniez who was hired into the role of HR Manager II for the Workers' Compensation <br />Division —she started in February —she has since resigned and accepted another position within <br />the County. So, we'll be recruiting to fill that HR Manager II position. <br />One of our HR Assistants in our Recruitment and Examination Division resigned to accept a <br />position with the Department of Finance, Vehicle Registration and Licensing Division. <br />And then, we had an Admin. Assistant in our Admin. Services Division that wanted to learn <br />more about recruitment, so she transferred into that position. <br />And then, I had another staff member in our Workers' Compensation Division Office who took a <br />voluntary demotion to accept the HR Assistant in the Admin. Services Division. <br />So, some dominos resulting in the vacancy for the HR Manager II, for the Workers' <br />Compensation Division, and then also a Workers' Compensation Claims Specialist position. So, <br />we'll be recruiting for both of those. <br />So, I am happy to see people accept different positions within our department and then for all of <br />these movements I'm happy that we were able to retain these talented individuals with many <br />years of experience within the County even if it's not within DHR. <br />So, that was that update for you. <br />Update Re Internal Complaint Procedures And Filing Appeals With The Merit Appeals <br />Board <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: And then, we have been talking about the due process notifications, <br />particularly, given the appeals and the various complaints. So, we've finalized the "Internal <br />Complaint Procedures & Filing Appeals with the Merit Appeals Board" chart, which you were <br />provided (SEE ATT. A). And this informationa link to this chart is posted on the Department <br />of Human Resources websiteinit has a related link where we also have information about <br />the Merit Appeals Board and filing appeals with the Merit Appeals Board. So, we tried to make <br />it as clear and —as clear as possible, so that it's an easy reference guide. <br />Page 12 <br />
