Council approves $25,000 boost for employee separation payouts
Summary
Floyd County Council approved an additional $25,000 appropriation to cover payouts for employees separating employment, citing retirements and anticipated separations.
The Floyd County Council approved an additional $25,000 in the general fund on June 10 to cover payouts for employees separating employment.
A county staff member said the line was created for payouts to long-term employees who qualify for separation payments and that multiple long-term employees retired earlier in the year. “So we are asking for an additional 25,000 to make up a current deficit and be ready for 2 that we are aware of that will be retiring by the end of this year,” the staff member said.
The nut graf: the council’s action increases the designated budget for employee separation payouts to address retirements and expected departures; the appropriation addresses a current shortfall but does not change the county’s separation policy.
Councilors questioned whether the increase would cover two anticipated retirements; the staff member said it should. A motion to approve the appropriation was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
