feedback to varied requests from Jurisdictions. The chart below lists areas of activities with
comparative data for 2013 versus 2014.

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.

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.
-12-
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.
