What We Do
The Human Resources Department provides a full
range of human resource functions in support of
all activities of New Horizons CSB. These
services include:
Recruitment
and Selection
Human Resources staff announce vacant positions
through postings at all program sites, and
telephone job line. Recruitment efforts
may also include newspaper advertisements, and
contacts with employment agencies. Human
Resources staff members assist in developing
structured interview processes, conduct
reference and background checks, and ensure
verification of licenses. For positions
requiring a criminal history and drug screening,
employment is subject to satisfactory results.
Human resources staff verify that all new
employees who will drive a New Horizons vehicle
have a valid drivers license and a current Motor
Vehicle Report (MVR).
Classification
and Compensation
New Horizons CSB continues to utilize the
Georgia Merit System Rules as a reference point
for personnel policies. Positions are
established and compensated within that
framework.
Benefits
Administration
Flexible Benefits, health insurance, deferred
compensation and a full range of employee
benefits are provided in coordination with the
Georgia Merit System.
Performance
Monitoring
The Georgia Gain performance management system
is used to monitor individual performance.
For each employee, job expectations are
established, and the level of attainment is
evaluated each year. Evaluation ratings
are monitored by the Human Resources staff and
employees are granted variable pay raises based
on these ratings, and the actions of the State
Legislature.
Employee
Relations
Human Resources staff provide guidance and
consultation to employees and supervisors
regarding a wide range of personnel policies and
procedures, including disciplinary actions and
new grievances procedures. HR staff
members provide the initial orientation to new
employees, and continue to be available to
assist employees with concerns ranging from
direct deposit, family leave issues, to
retirement.
