Committee approves $25 holiday gift plan, sets Dec. 1 deadline for employee lists
Summary
The committee approved a plan to provide $25 gift certificates for county employees and to host a luncheon, asked department heads to submit counts by Dec. 1, and discussed eligibility for part‑time, intern and volunteer workers.
Effingham County’s budget committee approved a plan to provide $25 gift certificates to county employees and to host a county employee luncheon, with department heads responsible for submitting counts and eligibility lists by Dec. 1.
Committee members debated who should qualify. Several members said the benefit should be for current employees in good standing rather than board or commission members; others recommended leaving part‑time eligibility to elected officials and department heads to certify. One member recalled past practice of tiered payments (for example, $25 for full‑time and $15 for part‑time), while others said a flat amount is simpler and preferred this year.
The committee moved to send the proposal to the full board (including the $25 amount and the luncheon) and set a Dec. 1 deadline for department heads to submit the number of eligible employees. The motion passed.
Ending: The committee asked department heads and elected officials to submit counts by Dec. 1 so staff can finalize costs to include in the budget layover paperwork.
