Police jury approves several personnel moves and discusses public-works scheduling
Summary
The Personnel Committee approved converting a part‑time maintenance worker to full‑time under a split payroll allocation, authorized an OEP permitting hire and extended an employee's FMLA through Jan. 16, 2026; jurors also debated 4x10 vs 5x8 crew schedules and the quality-control inspector role.
The Assumption Parish Personnel Committee met Nov. 25 and approved multiple personnel actions intended to stabilize building and grounds maintenance.
Committee members voted to convert a part‑time maintenance employee to full‑time, contingent on clarifying duties and funding allocations (discussion centered on whether the position’s salary should be split between the general fund and 1% funds). Jurors emphasized the employee’s primary responsibilities at the administration complex must remain the priority.
The jury also approved hiring an administrative assistant/field worker in the Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) at the grade and step shown in the packet, with a start date in the next pay period. Separately, jurors extended FMLA leave for an equipment operator (Equipment Operator 3, drainage estimator) through Jan. 16, 2026.
Committee discussion included public-works scheduling (4x10 versus 5x8 shifts) to reduce overtime and improve coordination between maintenance and road/bridge crews, and the scope of a quality-control inspection position — jurors questioned whether certified QC staff exist in-house or whether inspections should remain tied to supervisors on site.
What happens next: Staff will coordinate payroll allocations and follow up with the library regarding in‑house maintenance responsibilities; personnel hires will start next pay period.
