GENERAL PROVISIONS
(A) The Fiscal Court recognizes that a personnel system which recruits competent and dependable employees is indispensable to effective and efficient county government. These policies and procedures, classification and pay plans and job descriptions have been developed in order to achieve optimum efficiency and economy in the pursuit of the county’s goals and the utilization of its human resources.
(B) The policies and procedures set forth hereinafter are intended to implement the personnel regulations by providing procedures for:
(1) Classifying positions in the county service;
(2) Recruiting persons for that service; and
(3) Compensating employees for their service to the county. While the county is committed to the equitable treatment of its employees, it is expressly noted that nothing in these policies is intended to create a contract of employment. Any individual may voluntarily leave employment or may be terminated by the county at any time, for any lawful reason or for no reason at all. Any oral or written statements, custom or course of dealing to the contrary, are hereby expressly disavowed.
(2001 Code, § 31.001) (Ord. passed 1-14-2000)
(A) The following personnel policies and procedures have been adopted by the Fiscal Court and are applicable to all persons employed or appointed to positions at all levels in the county government, with the exception of the following:
(1) All elected officials;
(2) Employees of the Sheriff, County Clerk, County Attorney, Coroner and Jailer, unless expressly requested by the elected official in writing;
(3) All members of boards and commissions;
(4) Consultants, advisors and counsel rendering temporary professional services;
(5) Independent contractors; and
(6) Members of volunteer organizations.
(B) All employees not expressly exempted from coverage shall be subject to all provisions contained in these policies and procedures.
(2001 Code, § 31.002) (Ord. passed 1-14-2000)
(A) Pursuant to KRS 67.710, the Judge/Executive is the chief executive of the county. The Judge/Executive, by law, shall have all the powers and perform all the duties of an executive and administrative nature vested in, or imposed upon the county or its Fiscal Court. The Judge/Executive is responsible for the proper administration of the affairs of the county placed in his or her charge. Pursuant to KRS 67.710(7), the Judge/Executive, with the approval of the Fiscal Court, has the authority to appoint, supervise, suspend and remove county personnel, unless otherwise provided for by state statute. Notwithstanding the provisions of KRS 67.710(7), KRS 67.711(1) gives the Judge/Executive express authority to hire a deputy county Judge/Executive, and a reasonable number of other assistants, secretaries and clerical workers to work within the Judge/Executive’s office, who shall serve at his or her pleasure. The Fiscal Court, pursuant to KRS 64.530(4), is required to fix reasonable compensation for these positions.
(B) The Judge/Executive is hereby designated as the County Personnel Administrator. In this capacity, the Judge/Executive may delegate the duties and functions as he or she deems appropriate.
(C) In those situations where county constitutional officers have chosen to adhere to the policies adopted by the Fiscal Court by providing a written request to the Judge/Executive, the constitutional officer shall serve as the executive authority for the office.
