Commissioners ratify $500 cash-in-leave benefit for county employees
Summary
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution 2025-23 to ratify a $500 cash-in-leave benefit for county employees; commissioners said take-up of the program has grown after a prior increase and the change reduced overall health insurance costs.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution 2025-23 on Thursday, ratifying a $500 cash-in-leave benefit for county employees.
A county official explained the change was an annual administrative resolution tied to the county’s plan with its benefits provider. The board noted the amount had previously been increased from $400 to $500 and that more employees were using the cash-in-leave option, a trend the board said had helped reduce county health-insurance costs.
A motion to adopt the resolution was seconded, and a roll call recorded ayes from those present; the resolution carried. No dissent or amendment was recorded during the public discussion on the resolution.
The budget and personnel implications of the benefit were discussed later in the work session, when commissioners reviewed overall benefits and budget impacts as part of the county’s budget work session.
