Personnel Guidelines


The King County Personnel Guidelines define personnel policies and administrative rules for Executive Branch employees.

The King County Code (3.12.350) specifies that the Personnel Guidelines shall be established by the Human Resources Division (HRD) and revised as necessary. Revisions to the guidelines incorporate changes in local, state, and federal legislation, litigation, and best practices.

  • Personnel Guidelines (April 2005)

    Note: This version of the Personnel Guidelines applies only to non-represented employees until after bargaining with the unions has been completed. Until bargaining has been completed, represented employees continue to be governed by their collective bargaining agreement and the October 2000 Personnel Guidelines.

Important note: Nothing in the Personnel Guidelines forms a contract. These general guidelines do not constitute promises of specific treatment in specific situations. King County retains the right to modify the policies and procedures in these guidelines from time to time with or without notice.
