Fulton County approves HR manual change and reclassifies Veterans Affairs director as full-time for state duties
Summary
Commissioners approved an amendment to Section 212 of the HR Manual regarding employee benefits and voted to allow Veterans Affairs Director Richard Newman to work 30 hours per week, qualifying him for full-time benefits because of added state duties related to the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption.
Fulton County commissioners on Nov. 25 accepted proposed changes to Section 212, "Employee Benefits," of the county Human Resources Manual and approved a separate motion to reclassify Veterans Affairs Director Richard Newman as having the equivalent of a 30-hour work week, making him eligible for full-time benefits.
HR Administrator Mary Huston presented proposed revisions to Section 212 and was asked to return with the finalized language for official approval at a later date; the board later accepted Huston’s proposal to amend Section 212. Separately, the board voted to approve Veterans Affairs Director Richard Newman to work an equivalent of 30 hours a week, citing additional duties assigned by the state related to the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption.
The motions were approved unanimously. The minutes record that the 30-hour designation is the basis for qualifying Newman as full-time with benefits; no additional details about benefit costs or budgetary impact were provided in the record.
Next steps: Huston will bring finalized HR Manual language back to the board for formal adoption; the county human resources and finance staff will handle implementation steps related to benefits enrollment for the Veterans Affairs office.
