Additionally, the Office of Fiscal & Management Resources submitted the biennial budget for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 to OBM for submission to the Ohio General Assembly. The office worked with a new audit team to conclude the Court’s audit of fiscal years 2007 and 2008. The audit did not identify any financial matters or internal control weaknesses required to be reported according to Government Auditing Standards. Office of Human Resources The Office of Human Resources implements the employment policies of the Court, which includes coordinating the employment process, maintaining position and salary classifications, supervising the performance evaluation process, providing staff training programs and assuring the Court’s compliance with federal and state employment laws. The office also provides payroll and benefits services for Court staff, the staff of the state courts of appeals and Ohio judges. The office provides day-to-day support to Court staff and Ohio judges in all areas of human resource management. The Office of Human Resources worked with the Department of Administrative Services and OAKS staff in 2008 to implement electronic benefits access to facilitate the provision of paperless benefits changes within the OAKS system. New reports were designed and implemented as the expansion of data stored in the human capital portion of the OAKS system grew. The goal of a fully populated Human Resource Information System should be realized in 2009. Support for recruiting and staffing efforts was streamlined through the implementation of the Ohio Hiring Management System (OHMS). OHMS, as implemented by the Court, facilitates nearly paperless recruiting, tracking and screening of applicants, which saves significant time and resources. Additionally, the background-check process was improved to include supplemental key indicators. Throughout 2008, the staff assisted Court leadership with rewriting all position descriptions to include expanded physical demand and essential function details. The Human Resources staff facilitated the implementation of the state’s new “Take Charge Live Well” wellness program to bring increased benefits to employees who make healthy lifestyle and care choices. The program will be expanded to include more workplace activities in 2009. The office also provided annual policy and procedure training to all Court staff and redesigned the internal training plan to identify core and recommended curriculum for staff based on 74 2008 Annual Report • The Supreme Court of Ohio
pay grade and supervisory responsibilities. Full implementation of the new plan, along with Intranet access, will be launched in 2009. The office also assisted Court management in the design of a more robust safety and health program and facilitated the establishment of a safety committee, which meets monthly. Support for other courts throughout the state continued with off-site performance management training and the administration of a salary survey.

The committee organizes and orchestrates various competitions throughout the year, raising funds through entrance fees and sales of food donated by employees. Staff participate in and attend these events on their lunch hours and after work. Records Management Center The Records Management Section operates from the Court’s off-site records storage facility. The center operates under a comprehensive records management policy for retention and storage of Court records. The Records Management Section in 2008 labeled, barcoded and entered more than 3,500 boxes and files into the Court’s records information management system. The Records Management Center also worked with the Office of the Clerk on a large-scale retention project, completed numerous public records requests, and recycled more than 7.4 tons of paper and electronic storage media in accordance with procedures to destroy records held beyond records-retention requirements. 2008 Annual Report • The Supreme Court of Ohio 75 Clerk's division Office of the Clerk Case Mediation Section
