8:35 AM >>><BR>Hello!<BR><BR>I was hoping someone could help me out
with a question I had on Part A and the standards relating to personnel
policies. We are running into the issue of multiple policies for each
requirement. <BR><BR>For example in A 1.4 : Hours of Work, Benton County has a
policy provided by the Human Resources department internally for exempted staff
and one for the AFSCME Union employees also pertaining to hours of work.
Finally, we have an ONA policy for these same criteria for the nursing staff.
<BR><BR>My question is should we include all of these policies as evidence? We
are not to provide more evidence that asked for, but each policy is relevant to
a specific group. If we are to choose one policy, which takes precedence over
the rest? <BR><BR>Also, I was curious to see which counties are actively
pursuing accreditation this year? <BR><BR>Thank
you!<BR><BR>Divneet<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
