In order for a new employee to be paid by the end of the month in which they are hired, paperwork must be received in the Department of Human Resources by the 15th of the month. If the 15th falls on a weekend, paperwork must be received the workday prior to the 15th. New employees are eligible for medical/dental insurance coverage the first of the month following the month in which they are hired. Employees are not required to pay the employee premium for that month. Employees may elect for insurance coverage to begin earlier, but not prior to the date of hire. In such cases, the employee will be responsible for the full cost of the premium (Board and employee portions), prorated based on a 30-day month. Non-benefits-eligible employees who subsequently become eligible and employees who previously declined coverage and subsequently elect coverage will be treated the same as new employees regarding coverage start date and premium payments. Medical/dental premiums are paid in advance of the month of coverage. Except as provided under COBRA or other applicable law, medical/dental insurance coverage may continue through the end of the month following the month of termination 17 provided all employee premiums are paid. Otherwise, coverage will cease at the end of the month of termination. Employees who are married to another County employee will be eligible for two Board contributions toward medical/dental insurance. It is the responsibility of the employee to notify the Department of Human Resources of this situation and, upon notification, the change in contribution will be made with the next payroll.
