Duties include working with individual employees to establish eligibility for leaves, engaging in highly confidential and sensitive discussions with employees and health care providers to support the employee during the leave, explaining terms and conditions of the leave under collective bargaining agreements and the FMLA to employees, posting short term vacancies, coordinating with other Central Office personnel, and on-boarding returning employees following the leave.
    • Coordinates on-boarding for new employees by making initial contact with the new hire, preparing and reviewing hiring paperwork, implementing background checks, insuring compliance with local, state, and federal document requirements, insuring compliance with State Department of Education and relevant agency certification or licensing requirements, liaising with hiring administrators across the District, and completing employee-specific data management with high degree of accuracy.

    • May assist the Human Resource Director and the Finance Director in the negotiation of collective bargaining agreement, by researching other municipal contracts and benefit programs, and participating in negotiations. Responsibilities may also include assisting in the investigation and resolution of grievances under a variety of collective bargaining agreements.
    • Responsibility for oversight of special projects as directed by the Human Resources Director.

    REQUIRED SKILLS:

    • Two years of experience working in a Human Resources Department setting, with familiarity with federal, state and local hiring rules and procedures.

    • Experience working in Human Resources in the Public Education Sector, including a working familiarity with State of Connecticut Department of Education data reporting structures, strongly preferred.
    • Ability to work independently, without intensive supervision. Ability to identify problems, craft potential solutions and consult with the HR Director for resolution a definite plus.
