Summary

The executive and finance committee approved forwarding three recommended personnel handbook changes — expanded internal conflict language for outside employment, prorated vacation for part-time employees, and removal of post-probation pay language — to the full county board for consideration.

Staff presented three proposed updates to the county personnel handbook and the committee voted to forward the changes to the full county board.

The three recommended changes were: (1) expand the handbook’s outside-employment provision to include other county employment that could create conflicts; (2) clarify vacation accrual so regular part-time employees working more than 20 but less than 35 hours per week receive prorated vacation; and (3) remove obsolete language about post-probation salary increases because the county no longer uses that practice.

After brief discussion, Kramer moved to forward the three changes to the full county board and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. "Motion by Kramer. Seconded by Turf. All those in favor, signify by saying aye," the chair announced; the motion carried and will be included on the county board's agenda.

What’s next: the recommended handbook amendments will be on the full county board agenda for consideration in the coming month.
