Committee forwards change to employee training repayment policy to full commission
Summary
The Coffee County Legislative and Government Relations Committee voted Feb. 24 to forward a proposed change to the county's employee training repayment policy — lowering the repayment trigger to $500 and establishing a sliding repayment schedule — to the full commission for final action.
The Coffee County Legislative and Government Relations Committee voted Feb. 24 to forward a proposed adjustment to the county's separation repayment policy to the full County Commission.
The change would require employees who separate employment within two years of completing training or certification that cost $500 or more to repay a portion of that cost on a sliding scale: 75% if separation occurs within six months of completion, 50% within one year, 25% within two years, and no repayment obligation after two years.
Committee members said the change was intended to standardize repayment rules after an earlier $2,000 threshold excluded some positions, including animal control staff. The committee voted to send the revision to the full commission for consideration; the motion was made by Dwight and seconded by Roseanne and passed by voice vote.
The committee packet noted the policy text and highlighted the revised threshold and repayment schedule. No additional amendments were offered at the meeting and no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; the referral was carried by a voice vote.
Next steps: the item will appear on a future full commission agenda for final approval. The transcript did not specify an effective date or implementation details beyond the repayment percentages and thresholds in the proposed text.
