FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Town of Waterford
BUDGET FUNCTION
The Town’s Human Resources function has the responsibility to coordinate the personnel actions in the Town in such a
manner as to provide the community with efficient, economical service and aid in staffing the general government of the
( 
town with qualified, productive personnel (Code of Ordinances, Waterford, Connecticut 2.116.30).
Our Mission:
Our mission in Human Resources is to provide the Town’s citizens with quality, cost-effective services in the areas of
recruitment, retention, labor relations, training, safety and administration of all benefits and employment policies of the
Town. Our goal is to provide the above services with integrity and efficiency in all of our interactions in a work
environment that is characterized by fairness, open communication, personal accountability, trust and mutual respect.
The Town of Waterford recruits, hires, compensates, trains and promotes persons on the basis of qualifications for the
work to which they will be assigned. The Town is committed to ensuring that applicants are employed and employees
are treated fairly during employment without regard to race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,
national origin, ancestry, religion, age, veteran status, physical or intellectual disability, marital status, present or past
history of mental disorder, learning disability or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law. All
employment-related policies, procedures and actions are designed to comply with applicable laws.
Looking Back:
The Human Resources Department processed 35 recruitments this year, including recruitments for a new Director of
Fire Services and Library Director due to retirements. Unfortunately, COVID-19 continued to have a major impact
regarding leave issues, quarantines, isolations, and school closures. Four union contracts were settled in FY21: Fire
Services, General Government Administrators Unit (GGA), BOE Custodian & Maintenance, and the Waterford
Administrators’ and Supervisors’ Association (WASA).
Looking Forward:
In July 2021, the structure of the Human Resources Department split into two separate departments, one for the Town
and one for the Board of Education. 
This restructuring entailed creating a new office space for the Town’s HR
Department and the recruitment of a new Board of Education Human Resources Director. The following Town union
contracts will start/continue negotiations in FY22: Fire Services (contract ends June 2021), 1303 (contract ends June
2022), Police (contract ends June 2022), and Dispatchers (contract ends June 2022).
