HOLLIDAYSBURG Blair County commissioners are considering a follow-up contract with East Coast Risk Management, the company that took much longer than anticipated to finish a salary study with recommendations not yet addressed.
“This is for work going forward,” Human Resources Director Katherine Swigart told commissioners Tuesday when she presented four job-related tasks that East Coast could handle.
Those tasks include updating the study’s pay scale report, at a cost of $140 per hour, reviewing and/or creating a job description, establishing a task-based value of each job title and assigning jobs to pay grades. For a task fitting into one of those three descriptions estimated at about 15 annually the county will pay $450 each under the proposal.
