Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting

July 16, 2024

The Clayton County Board of Commissioners extend wishes of health and safety to our employees, and hope that all is well with you and your family.

To ensure that we stay in touch with you, Clayton County has developed a communication platform for our employees. On the platform, you will find valuable, key information to keep you connected.

Login to the Employee Self Service (ESS) to access the envisio dashboard for important employee news. You can also review and update your personal information once you login to the Employee Self Service.  If you need assistance, contact Human Resources Trainer/Researcher Ryan Shaw at 770-473-5787. 

Civil Service Rules Change

Resolution 2020-151 amended Civil Service Rules 5.407 and 5.411. Rule 5.407 governs annual leave accumulation limits, and Rule 5.411 governs the payment of accrued unused annual leave at the time an employee exits the County. Please be advised that the accumulation limits have increased from 256 hours to 356 for general employees, and 576 for fire shift personnel. This change is beneficial to employees, and basically increases the amount of annual leave payout.

The change in the accumulation limits does not impact your accrual rate. All covered employees earn annual and sick leave at the rate of 4 hours per pay period. The effective date of Resolution 2020-151 is August 4, 2020.

If you have any questions, please contact your supervisor, or call Human Resources.

The Pinning Ceremony recognizes employees who have made milestones in their careers working in Clayton County. These recipients have been a part of the Clayton County family for 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25+ years. Thank you all for your dedication to the Clayton County community and family. You are appreciated. #Claytonconnected

Department Heads and staff should review the brand video and requirements for the new brand logo, tagline and marketing slogan, which was approved for all BOC departments effective July 7, 2020. The official logo, lettering and colors should not be changed and should never appear distorted when printed, embroidered, posted, or electronically shared.

It is important to make all vendors and partners aware of the official brand guide and official color pallette with the correct numbers when creating flyers, promotional, uniforms, swag, etc. for your department using the full color, black, or white version of the logo. White background of solid colors that are not in the logo are recommended that convey all details clearly of the logo (no fade, no lines, no circles, no gradients etc. that would change the logo.) Otherwise, use the black logo or white logo or gray scale only to achieve the full effect of the logo without distorting it.

If you have questions, contact the Office of Communications/Print Services at printshop@claytoncountyga.gov, (770) 477-3562. for immediate assistance before you print or order.
