The work you'll do is more than just a job.

At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.

The Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) is seeking applicants to serve as a Human Resources Specialist in our St. Paul office. OAH is the largest of three Executive Branch Courts with over 75 full-time equivalents located in St. Paul and Duluth. OAH, with 30 judges, is comparable in size to the Ramsey County District Court with 32 judges. OAH has exclusive, bench trial-level jurisdiction over 200 unique areas of administrative law and workers' compensation. This means the decisions of OAH are appealable to higher-level appellate courts (Minnesota Court of Appeals, Minnesota Supreme Court, and Minnesota Workers' Compensation Court of Appeals) and not at trial-level district courts. OAH renders justice through fair, timely and impartial administrative bench trial hearings and high-quality dispute resolution services. Since 1976, Administrative Law Judges have served over 250 state agencies and local units of government and heard cases involving over 200 unique areas of law.

The Human Resources Specialist position exists to provide professional level human resources work and provides guidance and consultation in the areas of job classification, compensation, recruitment, staffing and selection for OAH. This position ensures the requirements of all personnel statutes, collective bargaining agreements/plans, personnel rules and administrative procedures are met. This position also provides administrative support for agency wide functions as needed and performs other duties as assigned.
