Benton County acknowledges union memorandum adjusting personal‑day policy
Summary
The board acknowledged a memorandum of agreement with a county union that changes how certain personal days are scheduled (moving to anniversary date of hire) and covers holiday provisions; the union voted on the change earlier this year.
Benton County supervisors acknowledged a memorandum of agreement with a county union that adjusts how personal days are allocated and addresses holiday scheduling.
Staff described the agreement as a memorandum of understanding that moves certain personal days to the employee’s anniversary date of hire rather than to other calendar dates. The memorandum also contains provisions relating to holiday handling; staff said the union voted to approve the agreement in April.

The item was presented as an agreed change between county management and the union and was recorded for implementation by Human Resources. No further amendments or budget shifts were recorded during the meeting.
