Benton County board approves amendment to sick-leave policy (Resolution 25-90)
Summary
The Benton County Board approved Resolution 25-90 to amend section 4.3 of the county sick-leave policy, allowing quarter-hour timekeeping with a minimum half-hour increment; the resolution will be shared with employees, the board recorded ayes and carried the motion.
The Benton County Board of Supervisors voted to approve Resolution 25-90, amending section 4.3 of the county’s sick-leave policy to allow quarter-hour timekeeping while keeping a minimum half‑hour increment.
The change was introduced by Speaker 5 and discussed by Speaker 3, who described the operational reason for the revision as aligning the written policy with new time-and-attendance rounding practices. "to knock that down to where they can use quarter hour increments, but still do the minimum of half an hour," Speaker 3 said, arguing the wording should also make clear how partial pay periods affect leave accrual.
Speaker 2 moved to approve Resolution 25-90 and a second was recorded; the board called for a vote and recorded affirmative votes. The resolution text amends section 4.3 of the sick-leave policy; Speaker 5 said the updated policy will be shared with employees after adoption.
The board did not record a detailed roll-call tally in the transcript beyond several members saying "aye." The amendment responds to implementation questions raised by supervisors and administrative staff about how the county’s timekeeping software and sick-leave accrual rules interact.
