Commission agenda includes a recommendation to purchase a new Human Resources Management System from Paycom.  Replacement of our current system is necessary due to Jim Welch’s retirement.

The system also includes a new performance appraisal module and other features related to employment.  Details are listed in November’s Commission packet.
