Personnel Manual 

Personnel Manual 

The Special District Association of Colorado in conjunction with SEMPLE, MILLER & MOONEY, P.C. offers this document as a sample of policies to assist special districts in personnel issues. It is intended to provide Special District Board members and administrators with ideas and sample language for use in adopting or modifying employment policies. The policies have been drafted for use both as adopted district policies concerning terms and conditions of employment and as statements of those policies provided to employees in handbook form. Whether any specific policy may be appropriate for any given special district depends upon the size of the district, the existing policies and practices of the district, and the intentions of board members. In smaller districts some of the subjects addressed in these policies may be dealt with administratively, informally, or not at all. In larger districts, needs for uniformity and the dissemination of correct information to all employees may dictate a more comprehensive selection of policies.
