Appointment Letter For New Employees (Page 6 of 6) in pdf

I have reserved the following dates on your work calendar so you can attend these New

Employee Workshops. Both of these orientations are held in either the Public Services Building

or the Development Services Building -Technical Learning Center in Oregon City. You will

receive an invite letter with specific directions prior to the workshops.

NEW – Benefits

DATE

TIME

In the meantime you can access a one-page summary of the major benefits and employment

conditions that are provided to employees in your employment group under the “Human

Resources” tab on the Onboarding Web Site. Benefit summaries are included under the topic

“Benefit Plans.”

Please note there is a two-month waiting period for most of your benefits to begin. Major

benefits such as medical and dental insurance begin on the first of the month following two

full months of employment (note: if you start employment after the first working day of the

month, this month does not constitute a full month of employment).

Employment Policies

The County has a comprehensive Personnel Ordinance that governs many employment

policies. If your position is part of a collective bargaining group you can download a copy of your

union contract from the Onboarding site. These policies as well as any department work rules

will be provided to you by the County’s Department of Employee Services (DES), your

supervisor, and/or union representative, if applicable. We urge that you review these policies,

as they govern employment conditions during your tenure with Clackamas County

All County employees serve an initial “probationary period” of twelve (12) months. Your work

performance will be reviewed during this period and you will be advised of any adjustments

necessary to complete probation. After six full months of employment you will be eligible to

receive a merit increase (unless appointed at the top step).

We are pleased that you have accepted employment with us and look forward to having you as

a valued employee. Please let me know if I can answer any questions prior to your first day of

work.

Sincerely,

Appointing Authority / Department Hiring Manager
