Approval to increase contractor hourly rate to reflect current job responsibilities
Body
Date of BOCC Meeting: October 14, 2019
Request for Board Action:
Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve an increase from the current employment staffing services contract rate of $21.30/hr (based on an outdated 2015 job description) to $32.66/hr (to reflect current role and responsibilities).
Justification:
This role has moved from a general clerical assistant (entering and posting data) to a role that includes self-directed efforts and working with many other stakeholders across vendors and Durham County Government. The organizational level of these internal and external interactions ranges from administrative to executive.
Over the years, the processes and demands of IS&T finance and budget have increased to support a rapidly growing County and IS&T's support for Strategy 5.3a (Financial Stability and Stewardship) and 5.3b (Business Continuity. In step, this role has grown with increasing roles of responsibility, but the job description and contractual recognition have not changed across four years.
