In response to the COVID-19 social distancing recommendations, county management has issued this temporary telecommuting policy. The policy is designed to protect employee’s health and safety, while minimizing disruption of services to residents. All employees must take the training to become familiar with the policy, regardless of whether the employee will be telecommuting.

The goal of the policy is to provide transparency around which roles are selected for telecommuting. The County Manager will work with departments to make final determinations on which roles these will be. We encourage all employees to read the policy and direct questions to supervisors and managers.
