Commission updates county personnel policies on firearms, employment status and holidays
Summary
The commissioners approved revisions to three personnel policies to align with Indiana law (personal firearms), define employment-status categories, and clarify holiday and floating-holiday rules including expiration of deferred holidays and election-year differences.
The Board of Commissioners approved updates to three human-resources policies on Oct. 6 addressing personal firearms, employment-status definitions and holiday rules.
HR Director Sadie presented Policy 6-27 (personal firearms), rewritten to put the county in compliance with Indiana Code and to prohibit employees from carrying personal firearms in county buildings or in vehicles while working. “The rewrite of this policy puts us, in compliance with Indiana code,” Sadie said.
Policy 6-29 (employment status) was updated to define regular part-time, part-time, full-time, seasonal and exempt/nonexempt classifications. HR staff said the previous policy lacked a definition for regular part-time employees.
Policy 6-36 (holiday policy) was revised to add language on holiday deferral (holidays deferred expire after June 30 of the following year), to state that floating holidays in non-election years do not roll over, and to allow department heads discretion to permit payout at time-and-a-half or deferred holiday time in some circumstances.
Each policy update was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting; no public comment on these policy items was recorded.
