The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is pleased to recognize Jon Lachney, Personnel Clerk in the Human Resources department, as the January 2023 Employee of the Month. The board recognized Jon’s selection at the Jan. 5 BCC meeting.
Jon’s career with Escambia County began in November 2021. As the Personnel Clerk, Jon is primarily responsible for UKG functions. He guides department supervisors on submitting, editing, and approving employee timecards, building custom reports, and submitting job requisitions through the UKG system. He also assists county team members in the UKG system by teaching them how to view paystubs, apply for positions and update personal information. In addition, Jon creates each new hire badge and responds to inquiries regarding badge access throughout county facilities.
Another one of Jon’s duties includes maintaining the personnel file room. He coordinated the digitization of personnel records in Human Resources by participating in vendor demonstrations, managing proposals, and creating spreadsheets outlining vendors' cost of services to determine the best and most cost-effective option.
Additionally, Jon recently worked with the Public Safety and Information Technology departments to create a report of emergency assignments of county personnel. The report added emergency assignment sections in UKG to indicate which employees were in safety-sensitive or CDL positions, allowing Human Resources to assist in facilitating random drug screenings.
“Jon is always upbeat and is dedicated to his duties while working with county departments,” said Crystal Dadura, Escambia County Human Resources Director. “He uses a practical and data-driven approach to deliver excellent customer service to all county employees and constituents. As a result, his supervisors consistently receive positive feedback from staff. He has been an incredible asset to our Human Resources team. We look forward to his continued success within the department.”
Outside his duties with the county, Jon is an active member of First Pentecostal Church of Pensacola, playing guitar in the music department for services, conferences and revivals.
The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners congratulates Jon on his selection as the January 2023 Employee of the Month.
