Company History

The Personnel Board of Jefferson County (PBJC) was established by the State of Alabama legislature in 1935 as the human resources agency responsible for administering the civil service (Merit) system in Jefferson County, Alabama. Alabama’s civil service statute applies to all counties in the state with four-hundred thousand (400,000) or more inhabitants. Within counties having multiple municipalities, the County’s Merit System is inclusive of municipalities having five thousand (5,000) or more inhabitants and whose borders lie geographically within the county. Police Officers of municipalities having two-thousand five hundred (2,500) inhabitants are also statutorily included. Currently, employees of 17 cities are part of the County’s Merit System. These 17 cities, together with five countywide agencies, make up the Merit System’s twenty-two member “agencies”. The Personnel Board proudly provides services to some 8,000 employees in approximately 700 occupations encompassing such diverse fields as accountants, information technologists, nurses, environmental specialists, and city administrators.
