The State Personnel Office is responsible for the administration and oversight of the classified service personnel system which consists of approximately 18,000 state employees from approximately 68 executive state agencies, boards and commissions. A comprehensive system of human resource management is achieved through the integration of five functional areas which are administered by the State Personnel Director with oversight by a five-member State Personnel Board. The primary responsibility of the Career Services Bureau is to ensure compliance with the State Personnel Act and the State Personnel Board (SPB) Rules which require the “certification of the highest standing candidates to prospective employers (10-9-13 F.).” Since November 2011, the State Personnel Office (SPO) has utilized the NEOGOV application system for management of recruitment for all classified positions.
In 1941, the Ohio General Assembly established the Highway Patrol Retirement System (HPRS) for troopers and communications personnel employed by the Highway Patrol. Today, membership in HPRS is limited to troopers with arrest authority and trooper cadets in training at the Highway Patrol Training Academy. The system provides age and service, disability, survivor, and death benefits, as well as health care coverage for benefit recipients and eligible dependents. HPRS receives funds from three sources: 1) employee contributions, 2) employer contributions, and 3) investment returns. These funds are used to pay benefits and expenses of the System. All funds are placed in income-producing investments that follow the guidelines in Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5505. The Retirement Board makes investment decisions on the recommendation of the Chief Investment Officer and outside investment advisors. Each year a detailed financial statement, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, is prepared for all interested parties. This comprehensive report is based on audited records and contains a detailed listing of all investments. As of August 31, 2018, HPRS had estimated assets of $912 million.
