HR committee votes to stop county payroll handling of legacy Boston Mutual whole‑life plan
Summary
Committee members agreed to discontinue payroll deductions administered by the county for five employees still on a legacy Boston Mutual whole-life plan; Boston Mutual will direct‑bill those employees and staff will notify affected individuals after the committee's direction.
The Dodge County Human Resources Committee approved discontinuing the county's payroll-handling role for a legacy Boston Mutual whole-life insurance product that five employees still retain.
HR staff said Boston Mutual will direct-bill affected employees going forward; the county currently invoices and takes deductions on their behalf but has not offered the program to new employees for more than a decade. The HR Director described the plan as voluntary and 100% employee-paid; the shift would change the invoicing process but maintain coverage and the group rate for the employees who opt to keep their policies. A motion to discontinue the county's payroll handling of the Boston Mutual offering was made and carried by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
Committee members asked whether the change would disrupt coverage; HR said employees would retain coverage and that the only change would be the billing and payroll deduction process. HR will contact the five affected employees after the committee signaled its direction.
