Commissioners approve new voluntary-benefits vendor and hire for clerk position
Summary
Human resources director Michael Sutton recommended Colonial Life as a vendor for voluntary employee benefits and presented a candidate for a clerk position; the board approved Colonial Life and offered employment to the recommended clerk candidate with a probationary period adjustment.
Michael Sutton, county director of human resources, recommended Colonial Life to administer the county’s voluntary benefits program, saying the change is cost neutral and offers employees more options and multi-year price guarantees. "It's the employee's decision," Sutton said, describing voluntary benefits such as life and critical-illness coverage. The commissioners approved Colonial Life by motion and voice vote.
Sutton also presented a recommendation to make an offer of employment to a candidate for the county’s vacant clerk position and noted a probationary period; the board moved and seconded the offer and approved it. Sutton said the county added more probationary time for this individual; commissioners did not record any dissent.
Both motions passed by voice vote. The actions are personnel and administrative in nature and include standard onboarding and probationary steps.
