The EAC Council meets monthly and serves in an advisory capacity to the Personnel Board and the Director of Human Resources concerning personnel matters, policies, rules, and regulations affecting Pinellas County employees.
The EAC is also charged with developing and recommending ideas related to working conditions, morale, public image, efficiency, employee safety, and employee benefit programs. Perhaps the EAC's greatest responsibility is to speak directly and candidly to the Personnel Board on behalf of the classified employees.
The Director of Human Resources acts as a liaison between the Personnel Board and the Employee Advisory Council.
The Employees' Advisory Council is responsible for appointing two members of the Personnel Board.
The EAC members are elected to two-year terms by their fellow employees.
