Commission approves HR policy changes including three‑day bereavement leave and insurance eligibility update
Summary
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. The second update, to Policy 7, adds a bereavement policy (three days paid time off for specified family relationships) patterned after the state standard; Stander also updated the insurance eligibility rule so employees become eligible on the first of the month following their hire date.
Commissioner Perry moved to approve the Policy 1 change; Commissioner Vincent seconded and the motion passed. The board then approved the Policy 7 changes after Stander explained the bereavement provision and the insurance eligibility correction.
