(A) All county employees will be issued a photographic identification card (“card”) upon being hired. The badges will be programmed to enter and exit restricted portions of the building as directed by the employee’s supervisor or office holder. Each employee will be notified of the restricted access door(s) that they may use along with the times their cards will be active. This information is not to be disclosed to anyone by the employee.
(B) If the employee’s card is stolen or lost, it must be reported immediately to the Executive Administrative Assistant, to the County Board and, if he or she is unavailable, then to the Chief Deputy of the County Sheriff’s Department. Failure to notify the appropriate personnel immediately when a card is stolen or lost may result in discipline, including termination of employment. If an employee’s card is lost or stolen, it will be replaced once without cost to the employee. Subsequent replacement cards will be provided to the employee for a fee.
(C) Employees issued a card must, when entering or exiting a door controlled by a restricted access card reader, scan their cards to activate the card reader. No employee may enter a restricted area without scanning his or her card. Additionally, no employee may allow access to restricted areas to any person or persons not possessing a card. Failure to activate a card reader as required or permitting unauthorized access to restricted areas may result in discipline, including termination of employment.
(D) An acknowledge form must be signed and returned to the ExecutiveAdministrative Assistant to the County Board for the employee’s card to remain activated.
