Human Resources & Insurance 7-8-2026

The Saratoga County Human Resources & Insurance meeting held on July 8, 2026, focused primarily on personnel and budgetary matters related to county staffing and compensation. Key procurement-related discussions included the authorization to create two new payroll clerk positions within the sheriff's office at a total cost of $90,852.80 for the remainder of 2026, to support the implementation of a new Kronos payroll system. Several resolutions were passed to adjust compensation grades and steps for various sheriff's office management positions, including the undersheriff, chief deputy, corrections administrator, and captains, reflecting a shift toward pay based on job responsibilities rather than seniority. Additionally, the board approved a budget amendment to allocate $5,000 from the county's opioid settlement funds to provide a stipend for a social services attorney involved in family treatment court, supporting opioid response initiatives and multidisciplinary coordination. The meeting also reviewed workers' compensation claims and settlements, noting savings of approximately $1.1 million.
