Commissioners approve employee handbook changes; staff signature page to be required or documented
Summary
Deputy Clerk Mary Theis presented revisions to the employee handbook which the board approved; staff will be asked to sign a signature page and any declination will be documented in personnel files.
Deputy County Clerk Mary Theis reviewed proposed updates to the county employee handbook and the commissioners approved the changes. Mary requested that employees sign a signature page acknowledging receipt; she proposed that a failure to sign could be documented and treated as a resignation unless department heads note a declination in the employee’s file.
County Counselor Todd Luckman advised documenting declinations rather than creating a presumption of resignation solely from a missing signature. Mary said she will update the signature form to include an option noting that the employee declined to sign. The board directed the clerk’s office to implement the revised process (discussion recorded in SEG 009).
