Joseph asks about vacancies and hiring turnaround
Joseph asks for a breakdown of vacancies and hiring turnaround. Phillips says they can share that information and are actively hiring to address payment issues.
And in terms of vacancies, would you be able to send us a breakdown as to where the vacancies exist so we know?
Do you mean in terms of...
To support your ECE division.
At one point, it was a skeleton at one point until we build it up.
And then where are we now?
And what's the plan to scale it up?
So we are not...
Providers are not calling my office to say I'm not getting paid.
I'm going to close the doors.
My staff, I missed payroll.
And that's something that's been going on for four years.
So we have to figure out...
How do we fix that?
Absolutely.
That is something that we can share.
We're working actively to hire additional staff and address many of the payment issues, as well as making sure that they feel supported in the field working with children.
What is the turnaround time when someone applies for a position and how long does it take for them to get it?
Thank you.
Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, chair.
Oh, but I cut you off.
I'm sorry, girl.
Well, I will say I will follow up on that.
We are moving as quickly as possible through our hiring processes.
And so I will follow up with an answer on that one.
More questions?
Okay, thank you.
I'm sorry about that.
