Title
APPROVAL OF THE UPGRADE OF PAYROLL SUPERVISOR TO PAYROLL DIRECTOR

Description
The lead position in payroll is crucial to the successful operations of all schools and departments.  As the district adds schools and programs the volume processed has increased.  Further, the need to accurately interpret IRS regulations, contract language and other regulatory guidance is paramount for our employees, while also always meeting payroll deadlines.  To address the complexities and increasing volume encountered by this position, we are asking that the pay be increased.

Gap Analysis
The need for unique, specialized knowledge, attention to detail and adherence to deadlines creates an area where the risk is great and must be mitigated.  Increasing the pay to ensure retention and dedication to excellence is necessary.

Previous Outcomes 
The payroll department has been difficult to staff.  The hope is that having a more optimal career ladder within the payroll department will create more interest in all payroll positions.  

Expected Outcomes 
Improve retention and provide recognition of the significant role of the lead payroll position.

Strategic Plan Goal

Pillar 3 - Every Employee Valued

Priority 4 - Implement Innovative Staffing Practices


Recommendation

That the Payroll Supervisor position to be upgraded to Payroll Director be approved as presented.
