BACKGROUND: In follow up to the resolutions approved by the Board of County Commissioners and the Hyconeechee Regional Library Board of Trustees, the Orange County Library will become a department of Orange County local government. When the library employees become Orange County employees, they will be covered by the Orange County Classification and Pay Plan. In anticipation of this, the Library and Orange County initiated a classification study of permanent Library positions. This study was conducted by Billings and Associates, a firm in Greensboro with experience classifying library positions. The Orange County Personnel Department coordinated the study and reviewed all results in relation to other County positions to assure internal equity. The 12 library employees affected were given an orientation on the classification study process. Each employee completed a position description for his or her position. The consultant along with Personnel staff interviewed each library employee to get a better understanding of the duties and responsibilities. A labor market study was simultaneously conducted.
