1-7-1: PURPOSE AND SCOPE:

Idaho is an at will state for employment purposes. It is the intention of the board of county commissioners of Ada County to bring its employment policies in line with an at will system of personnel administration. At will employees serve at the will and pleasure of their supervising elected officials. Their employment may be terminated at any time, with or without cause. Ada County at will employees retain all the employment protections guaranteed by state and federal law. It is both good business practice and sound public policy for Ada County to have personnel administration under an at will system that is clear and manageable for employees, supervisors and elected officials. The board of county commissioners finds that an at will personnel system will aid in the retention of skilled employees and serve the public interest. (Ord. 654, 2-20-2007)
