During the June 4, 2026 Compton Personnel Board special meeting, members discussed the Temporary and Exempt Appointments report and flagged that the Payroll Specialist position in the City Controller’s office has a temporary appointment expiring soon. Staff confirmed that recruitment for this role is already underway and that the goal is to have an eligibility list ready for approval at the next regular Personnel Board meeting so the vacancy can be filled. This indicates the City is actively planning to transition from temporary coverage to a permanent Payroll Specialist in the Controller’s office.Vendors providing payroll systems, implementation support, process redesign, or managed payroll services can position around helping the Controller’s department modernize workflows, automate calculations, and improve compliance and reporting as they onboard a new specialist and stabilize payroll operations.

Discussion arose under Personnel Board comments while reviewing the 6/1/2026 Temporary & Exempt Appointments report; controller’s staff were not present, but HR indicated recruitment was nearly complete.
