Floyd County supervisors approve one-time 2% bonus for compensation-board-funded employees
Summary
Supervisors authorized a one-time 2% bonus for compensation-board-funded salaries and agreed to use contingency funds where departments cannot absorb the cost; the motion passed after discussion of reimbursements and county budget impact.
The Floyd County Board voted to implement a one-time 2% bonus on compensation-board-funded salaries after reviewing state guidance and county budget implications.
County staff explained the bonus is calculated on salaries as of June 1 and that the compensation board will reimburse some associated FICA costs; staff provided rough county estimates for exposure and said departments that can absorb the cost should do so, with contingency funds available for shortfalls.
During the discussion supervisors asked for clarity about which employees were covered and how the county's obligations would be handled. One supervisor asked whether the board should authorize contingency funds to cover any departments that could not absorb the payout; the board agreed to allow contingency funding as needed.
The motion to move forward with the 2% bonus on compensation-board-funded salaries passed in roll-call voting recorded at the meeting. The minutes record at least one named dissent: Mister Phillips recorded a "No" vote; other recorded responses were in the affirmative.
The board directed staff to complete required paperwork with the compensation board and to calculate department-level impacts before final payroll adjustments are processed.
