County renews LegalShield benefit, accepts payroll and adopts privacy program policy 701
Summary
Duchesne County approved renewal of a voluntary LegalShield benefit for employees (no cost to county), accepted payroll for the period, and adopted the statutorily required county privacy program (Policy 701) while directing staff to complete employee training.
Commissioners approved several personnel and policy items brought forward by HR and administrative staff.
HR presented a renewal of a voluntary LegalShield program that provides employees with access to legal services and identity-theft protection at employee cost; the county does not subsidize the plan and staff emphasized that participation is optional. Commissioners authorized renewal and directed HR to coordinate vendor participation in open-enrollment events.
Payroll for the pay period ending 09/27 was presented; HR reported 222 employees on that payroll and a gross amount paid. The commission voted to accept payroll as presented.
Staff also presented the state-required privacy program template (Policy 701). The county adopted Policy 701 and directed departments to complete the mandatory training; staff reported rollout progress and that 76 of an expected 175 participants had completed training at the time of the meeting. Commissioners asked staff to harmonize the county’s existing 500-series and 501-series policies with the new template and to track completion.
Next steps: HR will schedule vendor presentations during open enrollment, procurement and payroll will process deductions for participating employees, and records/IT will continue the privacy training rollout and reconcile older personnel policies into the new 701 template.
