St. Leonard Congregation retains and salaries over 45 full and part time employees. This large staff must be managed fairly and professionally. The two leaders upon whose shoulders this management primarily falls are the pastor and the school principal. They are guided in this work by the competent parishioners of the Human Resources Committee.

The primary work of the Human Resources Committee is to create policies and procedures that both support the parish employees and secure good services for the parish. The committee advises the pastor and appropriate pastoral staff in "work-place" matters. It serves as liaison between the parish employees and Finance/Parish Council. Their responsibilities include: monitoring the policies and procedures governing employees; creation and approval of job descriptions; coordinating regular employee appraisals and analysis of remuneration and fringe benefits.
