Bulloch County strives to provide a comprehensive and competitive benefits program designed to help our employees balance work and life responsibilities. This information is provided to assist you in making the best decisions regarding your benefits. From May 13th through May 27th, full-time employees are able to change, add, drop, or re-enroll in certain county benefits plans. For most benefits, this is the ONLY opportunity to make arbitrary changes to your coverage. The choices you make during open enrollment will become effective July 1st.
