Commissioners approve changes to longevity pay, sick leave and vacation accrual
Harrison County updated its employee handbook: longevity pay will switch from bi-weekly to an annual lump sum (eligibility reduced from three years to one year), sick leave accrual cap increased from 360 to 480 hours, and vacation accrual will shift to immediate use with bi-weekly accrual.

The recommended change moves longevity pay from bi-weekly to an annual lump-sum payout in November and shortens the waiting period from three years to one year.
