Personnel committee approves terminations, several probationary and transfer actions and manual amendments
Summary
The Personnel Committee approved a termination, several probationary period completions, job‑title adjustments in the personnel manual and multiple position transfers between departments, and authorized a short FMLA leave request.
The Assumption Parish Personnel Committee on April 9 approved a personnel action terminating an equipment operator (following closure of associated litigation), updated portions of the personnel manual to reflect changes in job titles and continuing insurance language, and approved multiple probationary completions and transfers.
Committee chair Mr. Diaz reported the committee met at 4:17 p.m. and that the termination of one Equipment Operator II was approved after legal counsel confirmed the related litigation has closed. The committee also moved to incorporate a long‑standing continuous‑service insurance provision into the written personnel manual; staff said the change formalizes existing practice rather than altering policy.
Other approved actions included: a roughly three‑week Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave for a permit officer; completion of probationary periods and step increases for several operators (Equipment Operator II effective 04/11/25; Equipment Operator III effective 04/14/25); approval of a probationary period completion for a 9‑1‑1 administrative assistant/field worker with a recommended two‑step increase; and a series of transfers moving maintenance workers between Road & Bridge, Maintenance and APCC assignments effective April 18, 2025. The committee also approved moving a quality control inspector position from 1% funding to the Drainage fund effective the same date.
Most motions were approved by voice vote after being moved and seconded; no individual opposing votes were recorded in the meeting minutes for these items.
The committee noted some transfers are administrative (pay‑source changes) and not intended to alter salary rates or overall organization charts; staff was asked to finalize an organization chart before making further moves.
The committee will schedule follow‑up meetings on operational matters discussed in executive session; no additional personnel actions were taken at that time.
