Summary

Harnett County commissioners tabled consideration of a new paid parental leave policy so staff can revise the proposal and return it to the board for further review, according to a staff recap of the March 30 special meeting.

According to a county recap by staff member Desiree Patrick, the Harnett County Board of Commissioners tabled a request from human resources to review and consider adopting a new paid parental leave policy.

Human resources presented the proposed policy for board consideration; the board did not adopt it and instead directed staff to make changes and bring a revised proposal back for future consideration. The recap does not specify the policy’s proposed length, eligibility rules, cost estimate, or whether any formal vote on adoption was taken before tabling.

The item was recorded as tabled pending staff revisions. The meeting recording and minutes on the county website (www.harnett.org/boc) will have the formal motion language and any recorded vote, if one occurred. The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for April 7 at 9:00 a.m., where the item could reappear after staff updates.
