Grand County adopts personnel manual changes, adds AI-use guidance and bereavement leave clarification
Summary
The Board adopted multiple amendments to the county personnel manual, including adding language that training on 'the proper use of generative AI tools in the workplace will be provided to employees as needed,' clarifications on sick-leave donations and bereavement for miscarriage/stillbirth, and adjustments to severance and insurance provisions.
Human Resources staff presented a consolidated set of proposed amendments to the Grand County personnel manual. The changes included editorial cleanups and substantive adjustments: clarifications to internal recruitment posting, a bereavement-leave addition to allow use in the case of miscarriage or stillbirth, sick-leave-donation rule clarifications, guidance on FMLA and state-paid family leave interaction, motor-pool and smoking rules, severance-pay clarifications for certain temporary non-benefited roles, and a new Chapter 12 addressing generative-AI policy and training.
Staff revised the AI-training language after discussion; the final text adopted at the meeting states that "training on the proper use of generative AI tools in the workplace will be provided to employees as needed," with the chief information security officer identified as the contact for related questions. Commissioners voted to adopt the proposed manual with the clarified training sentence and thanked HR staff for consolidating the changes.
