| The Human Resources Department has obtained from the Department of Aging a more up-to-date list of offenses by category range rather than being listed individually which is where the confusion on this issue originated. The Human Resources Supervisor has also taken the online course offered by the Department of Aging which explains everything in greater detail and answers all possible questions. |
