Clerk-Treasurer introduces annual employee handbook revisions, adds AI policy and state leave
Summary
Clerk‑Treasurer Jan Jones introduced annual revisions to the employee handbook (amending Ordinance 2024‑11), including an AI usage policy and the Indiana child educational activities leave; staff said the item will be heard at a Jan. 21 public hearing.
Clerk‑Treasurer Jan Jones introduced proposed annual revisions to the city employee handbook (amending Ordinance 2024‑11) at the Franklin City Council meeting on Jan. 5, saying the city contracts with a vendor, New Focus, to maintain the handbook and incorporate new federal and state requirements.
Jones told the council the recent draft adds an AI‑usage policy and the Indiana child educational activities leave mandated by state law, and staff said other items identified during the year were incorporated into the revised manual. Councilmembers praised the vendor’s responsiveness; staff said the city paid an initial fee for services and receives annual updates.
The item was introduced only; the council was told a public hearing and final action are scheduled for the Jan. 21 meeting, when councilmembers may ask follow-up questions or move to adopt amendments.
