Commission approves URS Roth 457(b) automatic enrollment with opt-out provision
Summary
Duchesne County updated Policy 631 and approved a URS Roth 457(b) automatic enrollment program with an opt-out disclosure form; the commission authorized the URS service agreement and policy revisions July 13.
The Duchesne County Commission approved automatic enrollment for the URS Roth 457(b) retirement savings plan on July 13, including a county policy revision and an opt‑out disclosure form.
Human Resource Payroll & Benefits Administrator Jamie Park explained how automatic enrollment will operate, noted employees retain the right to opt out, and presented edits to County Policy 631 and the required disclosure form. Deputy Attorney Grant Charles reviewed legal implications of the service agreement and policy revisions. The commission approved the URS service agreement, the revisions to Policy 631, and the disclosure form with the opt‑out provision by unanimous motion.
County staff said the change is intended to encourage employee savings by simplifying participation while preserving an employee’s right to decline enrollment; implementation steps will follow approval to update payroll systems and employee notices.
