Human Resources
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.
We welcome you to our website and encourage you to contact us as needed with your comments, concerns or questions.
