This item concerns a funding commitment from Clay County to the University for employee hiring, scheduling, payment, and evaluation. The University will manage these employees according to its own policies and labor agreements, providing salaries, fringe benefits, and performance management. The University will also offer program leadership, research connections, and oversight for risk and contract management. This includes handling payroll and accounting services, and reimbursing employees for business travel. This item is currently under review. The work will involve managing personnel, payroll, and accounting functions, along with program leadership and risk management. This presents an opportunity for businesses providing administrative support, payroll services, accounting services, and potentially consulting on risk management and employee development. Engaging early could allow businesses to align their services with the University's needs before specific contracts are finalized.
