Fulton County adopts 2026 pay scale and establishes health-insurance opt-out payment up to $1,020
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 13 approved the 2026 pay scale and revised HR Manual Section 212 to create a pro-rated health-insurance opt-out payment of up to $1,020 per year ($85/month), payable at final payroll or upon resignation if the employee leaves in good standing.
Fulton County commissioners approved a new 2026 pay scale and a revision to the county’s HR Manual (Section 212) that creates a monetary payment for employees who opt out of county health insurance. HR Administrator Mary Huston presented the changes; Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve both the pay scale and the updated opt-out language, and the board voted unanimously to adopt them.
Under the revised policy, effective Jan. 1, 2026, an eligible employee who waives county health insurance will receive a pro-rated payment not to exceed $1,020 in a calendar year ($85 per month). The minutes note the payment will exclude any waiting period and will be paid with the final payroll in December or upon resignation; employees must leave in good standing to receive the payment. The minutes do not list the exact salary figures associated with the new pay scale in the body of the meeting minutes; a separate salary-board record is on file for the Enforcement Officer 1 hire.
