Rock County approves compensatory-time policy allowing time off in lieu of overtime pay
Summary
The board approved a policy change allowing some employees to elect compensatory time off instead of overtime pay; county presenters said the change helps departments with manpower pressures and reduces overtime costs. Vote: Yes 26, No 1.
The Rock County Board of Supervisors approved a change to the county compensatory-time policy that allows departments to offer employees time off in lieu of overtime pay. The measure was moved by Supervisor Woodman and seconded by Supervisor Wilson.
An unnamed presenter explained that offering compensatory time reduces overtime payroll costs and helps departments manage manpower shortages; directors in facilities and highway supported the change. "Instead of paying overtime, employees elect to take time off in lieu of pay," the presenter said, describing the policy as a departmental cost-saving measure.
The board approved the policy on roll-call vote (Yes 26, No 1). The resolution was presented as an administrative personnel policy change and will be implemented by department directors under county rules.
