2014 encompasses a second full year of application submittals, processing of

Appointing Authorities. Activities within the Department reflect a variety of initiatives: from

employee and department engagements with our Job Analysis Programs to focus on immediate

feedback to varied requests from Jurisdictions. The chart below lists areas of activities with

comparative data for 2013 versus 2014.

Year 2013 vs. Year 2014

AMENDMENTS TO THE RULES

A public hearing was held on September 16, 2014, to consider a proposed amendment to

Personnel Board Rule 3.2, Reports of Absence. The proposed amendment was approved on

that date. Rule 3.2 now reads as follows:

“The absence of an employee from duty shall be reported to the Director by the

Appointing Authority or department head. Reports shall be made in a format

acceptable to the Director and submitted to the Personnel Department in

sufficient time for verification. The reason for absence shall be stated; if

unauthorized it shall be reported as “Absent Without Leave.”

PROMOTIONS

There were 264 promotional appointments resulting from 124 promotional examinations

processed in 2014.

CLASSIFICATION AND PAY The Personnel Board adopted specifications and salary grades for 14 new classes in

2014. In addition, the Board approved amendments to the pay plan for already existing classes

and revisions to nine existing specifications. Also, the Board re-established two (2)

specifications. The following jurisdictions granted 5% cost of living increase: the City of

Bayou La Batre effective February 24, 2014; the Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of

Prichard effective November 15, 2014; and the Utilities Board of the City of Bayou La Batre

effective November 15, 2014. The following jurisdictions granted a 2.5% cost of living increase:

the City of Mobile effective October 4, 2014; Mobile Public Library effective October 5, 2014;

Mobile Area Water and Sewer System effective December 27, 2014; Mobile County effective

October 11, 2014; and Mobile County Emergency Management Agency effective November 1,

2014.

VETERANS A total of 514 employees received paid leave to participate in military training during

2014. At the beginning of the calendar year 2014, seventeen of our Merit System employees

were still on military leave and thirty-four additional employees were granted leave during the

year. Thirty employees safely returned to their job during the year, and nineteen employees

were still out as of December 31, 2014.

Also, extra points were awarded to 218 veterans who applied for open competitive

examinations during 2014.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS

We continued our work with our document management system by adding the capability

to process several more document types. Office staff continues the bulk scanning of employee

folders and jurisdiction correspondence. One of the benefits to this is providing legal

documentation as requested by our attorneys in a much more portable and convenient fashion.

We progressed forward into social media in March by launching our Facebook page.

Within one year, we have reached over 500 fans and hope to move forward with this method of

communication. Job postings, holiday closings, and helpful hints make up the majority of our

status updates. Our goal is to make our employment options available to a wider audience, and

looks productive in the right direction.

We have added two agencies to our electronic time entry process, and plan to add at

least two more agencies to the electronic register verification process. These enhancements

allow our in-house payroll verification system to decrease payroll processing time and enable us

to turn around certified payrolls in a shorter amount of time.

-13-

On the applicant side, a new job analysis system was put in place. As part of this

process, we added an Office Skills Assessment program. We set up a server specifically for this

to provide our analysts with the system they needed to create valid assessment tools.

Our goal for 2015 is to continue moving forward in all of these areas in order to provide

improved services to our staff, the agencies, the merit system employees and the public.

TRAINING & RECRUITMENT

In 2014, the training area’s focus was primarily on the delivery of quality training to the

employees of the jurisdictions we serve. Outside recruitment activities have for the most part

been curtailed. Participation was limited to a few events.

In addition to training, the area’s responsibilities included the processing of test results

for typing proficiency, jurisdictional employee development incentives, and employees

grievances. A summary of activities in these areas are shown below with the exception of

grievances. A more detailed report of grievances was included in an earlier section of the

annual report.

The concluding table describes the volume of activities for 2014 and compares the

results with those of 2012 and 2013. We are pleased to see that training participation continues

to increase. We did not receive requests in 2014 for special on-site jurisdictional training. We

anticipate a change in this area for 2015.
