II. DEPARTMENT CONTACTS
Jonny Chambers, TIS Director 425-556-2160
Mellody Matthes, Human Resources Director 425-556-2122
III. DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
In January 2019, the TIS department conducted a review of staffing needs in support of two of the major technology projects at the City - specifically the Workforce Management deployment and the ERP/Microsoft Dynamics optimization/modernization. Need for new classifications was identified based on staff needed to complete these projects and subsequently support them once the new systems and related services are operational. The TIS Department requested assistance from the Human Resources department in specifying new job classifications to better meet organizational needs. The Human Resources department evaluated job duties, and conducted a thorough market analysis to determine an appropriate salary ranges.
The following four new classifications additions are recommended as a result of this evaluation and analysis:
HRIS Business Systems Analyst
Sr HRIS Business Systems Analyst
ERP Business Systems Analyst
SR Business Systems Analyst
IV. PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS HELD
Finance, Administration, and Communications Committee of the Whole: February 26, 2019
V. IMPACT
A. Service/Delivery:
The new job classifications will better support the new technology initiatives of the City and are needed to ensure that the systems are utilized to their fullest capacity to support the City.
B. Fiscal Note:
There is no request for additional headcount: new positions for the TIS department were approved as part of the most recent budget process, so those positions will be reallocated for these new job classifications. The estimated on-going fiscal impact in salaries and benefits are within budget.
VI. ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Council could choose not to approve the proposed changes to the RCHEA Pay Plan. This could create an obstacle for the TIS Department in implementing its reorganization, and hamper the efforts to implement and optimize Workforce Management and ERP/ Microsoft Dynamics.
VII. TIME CONSTRAINTS
Approving the RCHEA Pay Plan changes now would allow the TIS Department to make necessary changes in its organizational structure in order to move these important technology initiatives forward.
