Human Resources

The Kannapolis Human Resources Department seeks to serve the community and its citizens by focusing on the achievement of our organizational mission and community vision.

The Human Resource Department supports six municipal departments and approximately 280 full-time employees. Working collaboratively with the City’s leadership team and employees, the Department coordinates the recruitment and hiring of City employees, administers the City’s compensation and employee benefit programs, oversees the City’s safety and risk management programs, provides training and consultative services to employees and departments, and ensures compliance with legally mandated programs such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act, among others.

The Department provides a centralized source of support and professional assistance which enables the City to recruit, select and maintain qualified and trained employees who are committed to providing prompt, professional, attentive and courteous service.
