Hi Rob, Our personnel department is formed by resolution of the Board of County Commissioners under the authority of ORC 124.14 (G). As defined in ORC 124.14(G)(2)(a), the county personnel department exercises the power, duties, and functions specified in ORC 124.01 to 124.64 and Chapter 325 with regard to employees in the service of the county. The authority of the county personnel department extends to all departments who report to the Board of County Commissioners as the appointing authority or co-appointing authority. Additionally the Personnel Department provides services in some way, shape or form to every county entity under our FIN/EIN. Services include but are not limited to workers' compensation coverage, liability coverage, health, life, dental, vision, flexible spending, and supplemental disability insurance, recruiting, screening, hiring, orientation, discipline, termination, etc. The amount of involvement of the personnel department has varies based upon the Appointing Authority. The personnel department is a general fund department, recovering some expenses from special revenue funds through the cost allocation plan and other expenses through the workers' comp expenses allocation and wellness fees.
