Hall County realizes that our most valuable resource is our employees. That is why we provide you with one of the area's most progressive and comprehensive benefit programs to ensure your current and future financial security. A variety of employee benefit programs have been designed to assist you and your eligible dependents in meeting the financial burdens that can result from illness, disability, and death, and to help you plan for retirement, deal with job-related or personal problems, and enhance your job-related skills. For a description of all the benefits available to you as a full-time employee, including vacation and sick leave, please see Employee Benefit Programs in your employee handbook.

You can review details of your medical and dental coverage in the Medical & Dental Summary Plan Descriptions. This information is not intended to replace the legal plan documents, group policies or certificates of coverage that describe specific benefits, limitations or exclusions. Hall County reserves the right to amend or terminate any of these programs or to require or increase employee premium contributions toward any benefit at its discretion.
