Franklin County supervisors to consult employment attorney on employee handbook and FMLA concerns
Summary
Supervisors said the county’s HR director and Chairman Vanness will consult the county’s employment attorney about an employee FMLA/handbook claim; the board will revisit the matter next week after review of outside auditor statements.
The Franklin County Board of Supervisors on June 2 discussed an ongoing personnel matter relating to FMLA and the employee handbook involving an item tabled last week.
Chairman Chris Vanness said he and the human resources director will have a conference call later the same day with the county’s employment attorney to review the concern; the Board agreed the item will return for consideration at next week’s regular meeting. Supervisor McVicker said he wanted additional time to review statements from an outside auditor before the Board takes further action.
Supervisor Lukensmeyer addressed a comment by Stephen Bardole made at a prior meeting alleging long-time employees (longer than 25 years) were not being included in the STEP pay plan. Lukensmeyer said the county has worked to get wages where they should be but must operate within budget constraints. The transcript records these statements but does not include supporting documentation or a resolution of the underlying claim.
No formal disciplinary action or final determination was recorded; the Board’s next step is the HR director and Chairman’s consultation with counsel and a follow-up at the June 9 meeting.
