Human Resources

The Human Resources Department at St. Barnabas Hospital serves as the central personnel unit for the hospital’s staff.  Human Resources handles personnel and employment functions from the pre-recruitment stages all the way through post-employment…with a variety of functions in between!  HR makes recommendations on employee issues such as promotions, disciplinary action, new policies & procedures, etc.  Our main function is to assist the employees and to ensure that the hospital runs as efficiently as possible. 

Some of the services handled by HR include:

• Benefits (disability, flexible spending, healthcare, 403B plan)

• Recruitment (recruit prospective employees, review resumes, provide applications, schedule interviews, conduct and attend job fairs)

• Wage & Salary (deductions, personal information changes, garnishments, salary adjustments, direct debit, tax information)

• Records/Letters (employment verifications, background checks, references)

• Workers’ Compensation (including meeting OSHA requirements)

• Employee Files

It is very important that all employees at St. Barnabas have the proper paperwork on file while they are employed.  This includes proper certifications, tax information, evaluations, I-9 compliance forms, etc.  All files are compiled and maintained in the Human Resources Department.

Employee Complaints/Concerns

Another very important function of HR is that employees may utilize it as a resource through which they can express any complaints, comments or concerns they may have in their work environment.  Reports involving harassment & discrimination, employee conflicts, evaluations, terminations, etc. will be fully investigated by Human Resources.

Other Services

• Employee Service Awards

• Employee Appreciation Awards (employee of the month, employee of the year)

At St. Barnabas Hospital, we like to recognize the employees that work hard every day to contribute to the hospital’s success.  The Department commends such hard work by organizing employee of the month awards.  This is followed each year by a celebration for an employee of the year.  All winners receive prizes and a small party attended by their coworkers.  Additionally, HR coordinates Employee Service Awards each year to recognize those employees who have been with the hospital from 5 years and beyond!
