SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
-
The significant increase in personnel costs ($145,578)
is due to the transfer of the Worker's Compensation Program and 2.0 FTE's to
the Employee Services Division from the Risk Management Unit of the Human
Resources Department. This transfer
provides a more integrated approach to employee benefits administration.
-
The increase in non-personnel costs ($59,096) is due
primarily to the increase in funding to unemployment compensation ($25,000) and
short term disability ($19,000) and the transfer of the Worker's Compensation
Program to the Employee Services Division from Risk Management ($15,096).
