On a more serious note, Piazza addressed that his administration was able to “hire the first dedicated and credentialed human resources director in Phillipsburg’s history”. We are waiting on documents from the Town of Phillipsburg regarding the date of the job advertisement, date of hire and documents requests through an Open Public Records request.
“Rather than scatter the HR responsibilities among various departments, the town now has one individual to be able to deal adequately,” Piazza said.

To date, the new HR Director has drafted discipline and leave policies, as well as implemented exit interviews. They are nearly finished with all of the civil service database updates in order to eliminate years of backlog transactions and have even updated Phillipsburg’s personnel action forms. Additionally, they have completed comprehensive New Jersey Civil Service training with a focus on more advanced levels of civil service to be compliant with processes and practices.
