Commission approves HR policy changes including three‑day bereavement leave and insurance eligibility update
The commission approved two personnel policy updates: a one‑line compliance change to Policy 1 and a new Policy 7 bereavement rule mirroring state language (three days paid leave for defined family members), and clarified insurance eligibility begins the first of the month after hire.

Human Resources Director Janica Stander presented two policy updates for commission approval. The first was a one‑line change to Policy 1 to ensure county compliance with local, state, and federal personnel laws.
