Personnel Committee Page 3 January 16, 2002 MR #01338 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – AMENDING OAKLAND COUNTY DEFAULT BENEFIT PACKAGE Oakland County makes available to its employees a generous fringe benefit package. All full-time employees are covered by a flexible benefits plan called Natural Select. Each year employees are required to decide how their annual Benefit Dollars are to be used. Employees who do not make their personal selections during the designated enrollment period revert to the "Default Benefit Package" which may differ significantly from their family needs or preferences. This resolution would change the Default Benefit Package to be a continuation of the benefit options that each employee designated in the prior enrollment period.
