• To develop and carry out an advocacy plan for promoting the Association's positions in response to recommendations made by this committee.
• To promote the continuation of a system of personnel administration that is consistent with the merit principles required in the Federal Regulations; a system that is free from political patronage, influence, or interference; and, a system that is contingent upon uniform standards that are consistently applied in all local humans services agencies in North Carolina.
• To advocate that all local Social Services employees including those in Substantially Equivalent Counties continue to be subject to the State Personnel Act and that training, monitoring and oversight, technical assistance, and support for local personnel administration in County Departments of Social Services continue to be provided by the North Carolina Office of State Personnel.

 

 

 

Committee Work on Strategic Plan Priorities

A standing Personnel Committee was established in May 2002 in response to needs established in the Association's strategic plan.

 

The Personnel Committee has been assigned the primary responsibility for the following indicator: "NCACDSS will assure creation and maintenance of an adequate, statewide approach to the recruitment, classification, compensation and retention of all local county DSS staff." This committee will be responsible for identifying and reporting to the Executive Committee the recommended outcomes for this indicator. Once outcomes are identified, this committee will recommend performance measures for this indicator to the Performance Measurement Committee. Once performance measures and outcomes are established, the Personnel Committee will execute implementation of strategies as assigned by the Executive Board of NCACDSS to meet goals of the Strategic Plan.
