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 Officer or Department Head. Such contract employment shall be"at will"and shall be governed by terms and conditions set forth in a contract signed by the Board of County Commissioners and the retired employee and pursuant to the requirements 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. The retired employee may not receive disability insurance coverage, but may be eligible for health, dental and vision insurance either as a reemployed worker, or through the retiree health plan, if he or she qualifies. 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- time and may be eligible for certain benefits, including Step increases. The needs of the department and/or County will dictate if this status is possible. Benefits are earned on a pro-rata basis based on standard hours worked, shown in Table 3.2 and Table 3.3.

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.
