Agency: ISF - Human Resource Management Line Item: ISF - Human Resource Management Function Upon establishing the ISF, DHRM consolidated all human resource employees statewide. Whereas previously most HR staff in the 'field' worked for the agency where they were housed, they now work for DHRM. The consolidation allows for efficiencies by avoiding duplication of effort, particularly in rural or remote locations. Consolidation has also resulted in better control and coordination over HR functions. The ISF operated by DHRM provides consolidated services to all state agencies. The ISF has two programs: Field Services and Payroll Field Services. Statutory Authority UCA 67-19-5 (6) allows the department to operate an internal service fund in accordance with Section 63J-1-410 for the human resource functions the department provides. In order to control the size, mission and fees charged to state agencies, the Legislature imposed statutory controls (UCA 63J-1-410) that require ISFs to respond to the legislative budget process. No ISF can bill another agency for its services unless the Legislature has: approved the ISF's budget request, FTE, capital acquisitions, rates, fees, and other charges; published the annual rates and fees in an appropriations act; and appropriated the ISF's estimated revenue. Working capital for operations must be provided from the following sources in the following order: 1. operating revenues, 2. long-term debt, and 3. appropriation from the Legislature. To eliminate negative working capital, an ISF may borrow from the General Fund as long as the debt is repaid over the useful life of the asset and the deficit working capital is greater than ninety percent of the value of the ISF's fixed assets. Funding Detail Rates are based on a detailed analysis of the costs of providing human resource functions statewide. The intent behind creation of the ISF was to save money or at worst be revenue neutral with improved coordination and control.
Function Field Services is the primary program for delivery of human resource services to state agencies. This program delivers frontline services in the major functional areas including: classification, recruitment, training and development, management of grievances, and application of DHRM policies. This program coordinates program effectiveness and maximizes efficient use of DHRM services, funds, and personnel. The DHRM administrative office sets the guidelines for Field Services, evaluates their performance, and governs their workload. Field Services carries out the three major objectives of the department: to increase customer service, to increase efficiency, and to increase management capacity. Funding Detail FY 2007 was the first year of operation for this program.
Program: Payroll Field Services Function Payroll Field Services provides payroll administration to agencies that do not have internal staff to perform this function. Unlike Field Services, which is a mandatory program, Payroll Field Services is optional to agencies. Funding Detail FY 2007 was the first year of operation for this program.
