The Human Resources Department is in charge of employee affairs, and so works closely with many other areas of the town staff. Human Resources coordinates payroll activities and benefits with the Clerk-Treasurer's Office; furnishes the Town Manager and Town Council with information and updates about employee benefits issues; and assists in writing job descriptions, placing employment ads and interviewing job applicants for most staff departments.
The Human Resources Department aids the various town staff departments by writing/reviewing job descriptions and helping with the interview process. While some departments use their own interview process for hiring new employees, the Human Resources Department alleviates some of the hiring tasks for many departments.
