Fulton County approves HR manual changes and grants Veteran Affairs director full-time status
Summary
The Fulton County commissioners accepted proposed changes to HR Manual Section 212 and approved Veteran Affairs Director Richard Newman to work an equivalent of 30 hours per week, qualifying him for full-time benefits because of additional state-assigned duties related to the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption.
Fulton County commissioners on Nov. 25 accepted a proposal from HR Administrator Mary Huston to amend Section 212 "Employee Benefits" of the county HR Manual and directed Huston to return the formalized language for official approval at a later meeting. Commissioners asked that the revised language be brought back for a formal vote after review.
Separately, the board approved a motion by Commissioner Hervey P. Hann to allow Veteran Affairs Director Richard Newman to work the equivalent of 30 hours per week and thereby qualify as a full-time employee eligible for benefits. The minutes state this change is in response to additional duties assigned by the state related to the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption; the motion was recorded as unanimous.
The minutes do not contain the amended HR manual text or a detailed job description for the Veteran Affairs office; they record the commissioners' direction to return with formal documentation and the immediate personnel action to adjust Newman’s hours and benefits status.
The board also instructed HR Administrator Mary Huston to present finalized language for Section 212 for formal adoption at a future meeting.
