The EID is committed to take each complaint seriously through each step of the process. We commit to exercise Jefferson County Commission’s core values (transparency, inclusion, integrity, innovation, energetic service, and safety) with each complaint. We will maintain confidentiality whenever possible and release information only to those with an essential need to know. We want employees to feel comfortable in reporting any instances where they believe violations of policies or standards have occurred.
In situations where employees prefer to place an anonymous report in confidence, they are encouraged to use this website or hotline, hosted by a third-party hotline provider, EthicsPoint. Employees are encouraged to submit reports relating to violations stated in our Equity and Inclusion Rule and Regulation, as well as ask for guidance related to policies and procedures.
The information employees provide will be sent to us by EthicsPoint on a totally confidential and anonymous basis if they should choose. Employees have our commitment that their complaints will be heard.
