Madison County
Employee
Handbook
This Handbook is designed to acquaint you with Madison County and provide you with information about working conditions, employee benefits, and some of the policies affecting your employment. You are responsible for reading, understanding, and complying with all provisions of the Handbook. It describes many of your responsibilities and outlines the programs developed by Madison County to benefit employees.
Employee Wellness Screenings
In an effort to help our employees become healthier, and to identify areas where they may be at risk, the LGHIB established the Worksite Wellness Program. Madison County offers free screenings at worksite locations during the year, or LGHIP participants may go to a participating pharmacy.
Beneficiary Designation
It’s easy to ensure that your beneficiary information is current and accurate. Doing so can help prevent a delay in the transfer of funds to your account. Having named beneficiaries can eliminate the probate process and help ensure that your assets will be distributed as you intended. Update your beneficiary any time, especially after any major life change (such as: marriage, birth or adoption of a child, divorce, death of a named beneficiary, and more).
Lincoln Financial
All full-time employees should be sure their Lincoln Beneficiaries are up-to-date, since the County-provided life insurance is through Lincoln.
If you have Lincoln Voluntary Life Insurance in addition to the County-provided life insurance, the same form is used to update that, too!

SpeakUP! Tool
This reporting system is a confidential and anonymous solution that provides an opportunity for Madison County employees to report discrimination, harassment, and any activity that violates Madison County policies or Code of Conduct. We encourage you to provide as much information as possible to aid us in our investigation. All reports are important and will be investigated thoroughly.
Speak Up! is not a 911 or emergency service. Please contact your local emergency services if you need to report a critical situation that requires the immediate attention of emergency services.
