All IT staff in Jackson County are classified as "Management/Confidential" and are non-represented. All except contract/temporary staff are salaried (OT exempt), not hourly. Best regards, Mark L. Decker CIO / Technology Director Jackson County, Oregon (541) 774-6023 >>> "Murray Paolo" <paolom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 11/30/2011 2:40 PM >>> Are there any organizations (state, county, or city) in the state whose IS employees are considered “confidential” employees for the sake of collective bargaining? I’d be interested in hearing from any of you who have dealt with this issue. Thanks, Murray Paolo Yamhill County
