Commissioners approve medical leave for road‑department mechanic
Summary
Flathead County commissioners approved a short medical leave for an auto‑body technician/mechanic in the Road Department after Human Resources presented a doctor's note and explained the employee had exhausted paid leave and FMLA.
Steve Macovich, Human Resources, informed the board that a road‑department auto‑body technician/mechanic has a current medical issue supported by a doctor's note and is expected to be off work for the next couple of weeks. Macovich said the employee previously used paid leave and FMLA and had earlier taken 40 hours of leave without pay following family losses.
A commissioner moved to consider and approve the leave of absence for the employee; the motion was seconded and carried. The board’s approval allows the department and HR to manage leave consistent with county policy and applicable federal leave rules.
No personal medical details were discussed in the public transcript; commissioners handled the request as a personnel matter on the consent/agendized portion of the meeting.
