(A) A new employee needs to become familiar with his/her position, County operations, policies, rules and regulations and fringe benefits. In order to provide new employees with support, answers to questions and assistance in being successful in their daily job duties, the County conducts a two-step orientation process for its employees.
(B) The first step in the orientation process is provided by the County Human Resource Office, which will review basic employment requirements and benefits, such as:
(1) Job title and wages
(2) Fringe benefits
(3) Rules and regulations, including disciplinary procedures
(4) Requirements of the collective bargaining agreement, if such an agreement covers the new employee
(5) Review of this handbook
(C) After meeting with the Human Resources Office, the employee will complete the orientation process with his/her department head who will review specific job duties, explain the work site, job duties required, performance expectations, department rules and safety regulations. Many larger departments will assign a new employee to shadow or be mentored by a senior employee who knows the position and responsibilities.
