Board approves payout for road‑crew vacation hours exceeding cap
Summary
The board voted to pay out excess vacation hours for three road employees that exceeded the county’s 80‑hour cap, totaling about $1,386.23. Members discussed policy implications and whether to allow carryover or payout going forward.
County staff reported three road department employees exceeded the county vacation carryover cap of 80 hours: one employee had about 12 hours over, another 17 hours, and one 23 hours over the cap. The approximate total cost to pay out the excess hours was $1,386.23.
Board members debated whether to allow carryover given operational constraints (snow response, weekend work) and audit recommendations that previously tightened carryover policy. The board voted to pay out hours over 80 for this instance; the motion was made by Chris, seconded by Brandon, and passed by voice vote.
Staff will process the payout and monitor future compliance with the vacation cap; board members noted this may be a one‑time accommodation due to staffing and weather impacts.
