The Archer Position Questionnaire was developed and training classes were <br />held with all employees in November of 2007. Employees completed their respective position <br />questionnaires and the results were reviewed by the respective departmental management <br />teams and Human Resources staff prior to forwarding to The Archer Company. <br />From the completed questionnaires, job descriptions were developed and submitted to the <br />County for review and comment by appropriate employees, supervisors, department directors <br />and Human Resources. These reviewed and revised job descriptions were then returned to <br />the Archer Company. The job descriptions are currently being incorporated into The Archer <br />Company salary and classification matrix, and Archer representatives will be meeting with <br />Human Resources staff in mid-September to share the results. County staff will continue to <br />work with Archer to ensure accuracy and address any necessary revisions. The FY 08-09 <br />Budget does not provide funding for recommended implementation. Implementation costs have <br />been estimated for the FY 09-10 budget of $4,100,000. <br />
