Summary
Human Resources reported a June 15 go-live for the county's Paycor HRIS and said the county is monitoring a potential provider-network disruption between Cigna and a regional provider that could affect roughly 30% of employees who live in Lincoln County.
Teton County Human Resources Director Justin Keiser told the Board of County Commissioners on May 5 that the county's implementation of the Paycor human-resources information system is on track for a June 15 go-live and that training for managers will begin in advance of the switchover.
Keiser said HR and payroll are coordinating data transfer and system build-out, with manager training to follow later in May ahead of the June 15 launch date. Recruiting activity continues and several key hires were reported: a fairgrounds manager and an IT infrastructure administrator started recently; the long-vacant plans-examiner post has two promising candidates and an offer is anticipated.
Keiser and staff also briefed the board on benefits issues. County HR is monitoring contract negotiations between insurer Cigna and a regional provider (Star Valley Health). Justin Keiser said about 30% of county employees live in Lincoln County and may rely on the provider network. If Cigna and the provider do not reach terms, a letter of intent to drop in-network status was reported for June 30; county consultants do not expect that termination to be permanent but HR staff are preparing contingency plans.
Keiser said the county is working closely with broker Brown and Brown to evaluate alternatives and that the county will continue to monitor negotiations closely and prepare communications for employees if the network changes. He said Brown and Brown has advised that such disputes most often are resolved quickly.
Provenance: HR and benefits updates were delivered by Justin Keiser during the human-resources segment of the May 5 meeting; Paycor implementation timeline and the Cigna-Star Valley Health issue were noted on the record.
Ending: Staff will proceed with Paycor training, finalize candidate selection for open positions and report back to the board if the Cigna-Star Valley network status changes or if benefit plan modifications are required.
