The Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 13 adopted the county’s 2026 pay scale and approved a revision to the Human Resources Manual that clarifies the health-insurance opt-out payment for employees.
HR Administrator Mary Huston presented the 2026 pay scale, which Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve. The board also approved a revision to HR Manual Section 212, "Employee Benefits," establishing that eligible employees who opt out of county health insurance will receive a pro-rated payment up to $1,020 per calendar year (the meeting notes specify this as $85 per month), with the payment to be made in the final December payroll or upon resignation if the employee leaves in good standing; the waiting period is excluded when calculating payment.

A Salary Board meeting was held to set the salary according to the collective bargaining agreement; separate Salary Board minutes are on file.
