Board reviewed HR manual updates: holiday‑pay clarifications, compensatory time tracking, shift differentials, a new AI policy requiring approved training (Copilot noted as the county platform), and proposed changes tied to the federal temporary overtime deduction (reporting on W‑2s and not counting holiday hours toward overtime).
