A subcommittee will be reviewing a revised employee handbook for Starke County.
County Attorney Marty Lucas said the insurance company reviewed the handbook and made a large amount of changes that need to be carefully reviewed by officials before it is recommended for approval.
Lucas said the project is time-consuming as there some aspects that could work for local government, but most don’t apply to Starke County’s procedures and processes.
There are many positive aspects that were suggested, but a subcommittee should take a closer look at the content to make sure that it pairs appropriately with Starke County.
Rather than being written as a readable document, Lucas said it’s written more like documents that would stand up if there was challenge to the document.
A commissioner, the county attorney, a few council members, the auditor, the sheriff, a few department heads, a highway department official, and a representative from the insurance company should be on the committee to come to an agreement on the employee handbook.
That group of people will be assembled with more information to be brought before the commissioners before the handbook is adopted.
