Commission to adopt URS rehiring guidance and minor attendance-policy flexibility
Summary
The commission agreed to add a limited scheduling flexibility clause for merit, FLSA-exempt employees and to update county policy to reflect URS's new rehiring window (after 90 days but within one year).
Commissioners reviewed two personnel-policy updates. HR proposed a minor change to the county attendance policy to allow schedule flexibility for merit, FLSA-exempt employees (for example attorneys and some IT staff) so long as they work a minimum of 80 hours per pay period; commissioners supported the change.
Separately, state URS rules changed effective July 1 to permit rehiring retirees after 90 days but within one year with certain penalties and conditions. Under the URS change the county must pay the full retirement contribution for that rehired retiree while they are employed; retirees rehired in that window may receive a reduction to their monthly retirement allowance and will not be eligible for URS COLA while reemployed. HR said it has a pending case where a retiree falls in this window; commissioners agreed to add the URS-compliant language to county policy so HR may execute a written agreement and proceed with normal hiring processes. Commissioners emphasized that rehiring remains subject to the usual selection and hiring process and is not automatic.
