Forsyth County to formalize personnel services for Board of Elections employees
Summary
County staff proposed a memorandum of understanding that formalizes the longstanding practice of treating local Board of Elections workers as county personnel for benefits and processes, ensuring they receive the same payments and procedures as county employees.
A staff member, speaking on behalf of absent Elections Director Tim Zucie, explained a memorandum of understanding between Forsyth County and the Forsyth County Board of Elections to formalize the county’s provision of personnel administration services for elections employees. The presenter said the Board of Elections is technically independent but the county has historically treated elections workers like county employees (same benefits and processes); the MOU documents that practice so elections staff will clearly receive county benefits and established procedures (an issue that surfaced during ARPA premium‑pay decisions).
The presenter said the formal MOU simply codifies what has been done informally and that Elections Director Tim Zucie coordinated on the document. Commissioners had no substantive questions during the briefing.
