CHAPTER 3
HUMAN RESOURCES
Amend Sec. 3-2-100. Phased retirement option.
A. Employees retiring from County service must separate their regular employment
from Weld County in order to draw benefits from the Weld County Retirement Plan.
They do not have a right or expectation of continued employment with Weld County.
Contract employment of a retired employee shall be at the discretion of the Elected

of this Section. An example of such a contract may be found in Appendix 3-C.
B. Employees retiring from County service under the Retirement Plan may, upon
approval by the department head or elected official, work no more than a total of
one thousand nine hundred seventy-six(1,976)hours annually,January to January.

1. Hourly. An hourly retiree employee is paid only for the hours worked and is
not eligible to receive benefits.
2. Part-time. A part-time retiree employee is regularly scheduled to work less
than forty (40) hours per week. The part-time employee who consistently
works at least twenty (20) hours per week may be eligible for certain
benefits.
3. Job Share Retired with benefits. A Job Share retiree employee works part-

Amend Sec. 3-6-100. Jury duty/witness.
An employee who is regularly employed,as defined by Section 13-71-126,C.R.S.,and who
is required to serve as a witness in a case involving the County government or as a juror during
scheduled work time, is entitled to paid leave not to exceed three (3) weeks. An employee who
serves on a jury shall pay to the County all amounts received for the jury service. In order to be
granted leave for jury duty, the employee must submit a copy of the summons and all forms
furnished by the Clerk of the Court relative to the time of service. Mileage allowances can be
retained by the employee. An employee who is subpoenaed to appear as a witness in a case
unrelated to County business must use paid leave, if available. If no paid time is available, the time
off will be leave without pay. Employees must avoid situations in which they, through their
voluntary actions, may be called to testify in private civil matters,wherein knowledge of confidential
facts, circumstances, or opinions they have obtained in the scope and course of their work may be
revealed.
Amend Sec. 3-8-20. Reporting of injuries.
A - No change.
B. Completion of the Employee's Written Notice of Injury to Employer must be
accomplished by the injured employee and given to the immediate supervisor, or
Department of Human Resources, within twenty-four (24) working hours of the
injury. The supervisor will complete an Accident Investigation Report, and the
injured employee will be required to review and sign it. The Employer's First Report
of Accident form must be submitted to the Department of Human Resources within
twenty-four (24) hours of the accident. The supervisor's Accident Investigation
Report must be submitted to the Department of Human Resources within forty-eight
(48) hours. The injured employee needs to review and sign the Workers'
Compensation Designated Medical Provider List and HIPAA Compliant
Authorization for Release of Medical Information forms and submit to the
Department of Human Resources within five (5)days of the work-related accident.
C. Reasons for the regulations:
1. Employees seeking medical attention for job-incurred injuries from
healthcare providers other than those authorized by the County may have
to assume the cost of such treatment. State law requires employers to
provide employees, injured on the job, with a designated medical provider
list. Authorization of medical information in connection with an employee's
workers' compensation claim offers prompt claims set-up and billing as well
as immediate medical evaluation and specialist referrals.
2. Immediate treatment may prevent medical complications from developing.
3. Prompt reporting of the work-related accident will enable the supervisor to
make a timely investigation. This investigation might reveal a hazardous
condition or work practice which, if not corrected, could lead to more serious
injuries.
D. Chiropractic services and other forms of alternative medicine will not be paid unless
medical referral is made by the attending physician. Before any injured employee
is allowed to return to work, a written release is required from the attending doctor
stating that the employee will be able to assume full working responsibilities and
duties. The injured employee must keep the immediate supervisor or department
head or elected official and the Department of Human Resources informed of his
or her condition. Injured employees who can perform modified job duties may be
assigned modified duties temporarily, if available, by the department head or
elected official after consultation with the Department of Human Resources.
E - No change.
