Human Resources
Human Resources (HR) is dedicated to providing professional, confidential and cost-effective
assistance to all employees and other customers in the areas of recruitment and retention
of academic, classified and administrative employees.
Our responsibilities include new hire orientation, employee benefits, employee/labor relations, collective bargaining, safety, salary administration, job classification, Board and HR policy, employee discipline and terminations, workers' compensation, training and equal employment opportunity.
Human Resources serves a dual role: as an internal consultant to management on HR-related matters and as an advocate for employees. Human Resources is wholly committed to the development and implementation of HR programs that will assist or enable employees to better serve the greater learning community of the Kern Community College District.
