We are responsible for recruitment, classification, training, benefits, wage compensation, grievances and appeals, worker’s comp, liability and property insurance, 401(k) program, and record maintenance and retention. Background investigations and the random drug testing program are also conducted by HR staff. Policies and procedures are developed and/or revised through the Personnel Committee, which is a five-member committee appointed by the Tribal Council. We advise and assist employees and department directors in a variety of personnel matters including: the interpretation and application of personnel policies and procedures, position planning, recruitment, interview and selection methods, as well as employee evaluations.

We provide assistance to all applicants and tribal members who apply for jobs within the Tribe by working one-on-one with individuals; we explain the recruitment and selection process as well as the qualifications for the position for which they are applying. Our community outreach includes traveling to the communities and providing information on current job openings, assisting in the completion of applications, as well as instruction and assistance in resume writing.
