Fulton County approves HR manual change and upgrades Veterans Affairs director to full-time-equivalent
Summary
The commissioners approved amendments to HR Manual Section 212 (employee benefits) and authorized Veterans Affairs Director Richard Newman to be treated as full-time (30 hours/week) with benefits because of added state duties related to the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved proposed changes to Section 212 ("Employee Benefits") of the county HR Manual and authorized Veterans Affairs Director Richard Newman to work an equivalent of 30 hours per week, qualifying him for full-time benefits.
The board met with HR Administrator Mary Huston about the proposed benefit changes and asked Huston to return revised language for official approval; later in the meeting Commissioners accepted Huston’s proposal to amend Section 212. The minutes show the board asked for the changes to be returned for formal adoption at a future meeting.
Separately, Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve having Richard Newman treated as a full-time employee (30 hours per week) because of additional duties assigned by the state related to the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption. The motion passed unanimously. The record does not include the specific effective date for the staffing change; the action appears intended to enable benefits for Newman while the state-assigned duties are in effect.
The board asked county staff to bring formal revised HR manual text and any implementation steps back for future formal action.
