Vernon County to roll out Tyler HRIS and launches redesigned county website
Summary
County staff told the committee the county will implement a Tyler Technologies HR system with first trainings in February and launch a redesigned vernoncountywi.gov site; IT reported steady help‑desk demand and ongoing phishing defenses.
Vernon County officials told the Personnel & Finance Committee on Jan. 8 that the county will begin implementation of a new human resources information system provided by Tyler Technologies, and that the county’s revamped .gov website went live Dec. 31.
Implementation schedule: Tricia (HR staff) said the county will begin staff trainings in February and aims to use the new HRIS for open enrollment later in 2025; payroll integration through Tyler is expected for the first payroll in 2026. Connor (IT director) reported help‑desk activity: 289 tickets were opened in December and the department completed a 2024 device replacement program. Connor also summarized phishing statistics and said the county had both real and simulated phishing activity; he urged staff to report suspicious messages rather than opening links.
Website and accessibility: The county’s new vernoncountywi.gov domain and site were launched Dec. 31. Officials said the site’s navigation is simplified, includes an internal search, and adds accessibility tools (language options, screen-reader support and adjustable fonts). Staff acknowledged initial transition issues (slow pages or broken links during the rollout) but said those problems had been remedied.
Why it matters: The HRIS will centralize benefits, job descriptions and performance evaluations that have been managed manually; a modern website improves resident access to agendas, employment information and elections content. IT metrics showed continuing demand for support and an ongoing need for phishing training.
Next steps: HR will continue trainings and aim to complete open‑enrollment work in the new system; IT will keep monitoring help‑desk metrics and continue cybersecurity training.
