Commissioners approve comp time cap, online training subscription and employee financial-wellness session
Summary
The Bannock County Board approved up to 80 hours of compensatory time for an employee completing required POST training, authorized a 30-seat subscription with Knowledge City for new leader orientation and remedial training, and agreed to a free financial-wellness lunchtime session offered by ICCU.
Matthew Phillips, HR interest management director, presented three personnel and training items to the board and obtained approvals.
First, Phillips asked the board to approve accrued compensatory time for an employee completing required POST training. He said the employee's compensatory time was expected to reach about 60 hours and asked for authorization up to 80 hours. The board approved the motion to allow up to 80 hours of comp time; commissioners voted "aye." Phillips noted the county policy requires paying out time close to the federal cap.
Second, Phillips asked for authorization to sign an electronic contract with Knowledge City for a 30-seat subscription to use course modules for a new leader orientation and targeted remedial training. He said the subscription would be less than a quarter of the department's training budget for the year and that legal (Brian Trammell) had reviewed and requested minor revisions. Commissioners authorized the HR director to sign the contract, including electronic signature.
Third, Phillips said Idaho Central Credit Union (ICCU) offered a free Money EDU financial-education tool and a lunchtime financial-wellness session available to members and nonmembers; commissioners raised no concerns and the board accepted the plan.
The HR items were administrative approvals; staff will implement the subscription and schedule training and wellness events.
