Policy & Personnel Committee amends vacation leave sell‑back policy

The Policy & Personnel Committee of the Jackson Parish Police Jury voted May 20 to amend its vacation leave sell‑back policy, allowing employees to sell up to 120 hours of accrued vacation time while maintaining a minimum balance of 20 hours of accrued vacation leave. The action was moved by Mr. Todd Culpepper and seconded by Mr. Keith Burris; the minutes state the motion "carried."

The committee met at 12:00 p.m. in the Nathaniel Zeno, Jr. Meeting Room at the Jackson Parish Police Jury Administrative Building in Jonesboro. Mr. Burris, serving as chair, called the meeting to order; Mr. Culpepper gave the invocation and Mr. Burris led the Pledge of Allegiance. No members of the public attended and there were no public comments.

Earlier in the meeting Mr. Culpepper moved, and Mr. Burris seconded, an amendment to the published agenda to add item #3 to consider changes to the vacation leave sell‑back procedure; that motion carried. Agenda items #1 and #2 were discussed but recorded in the minutes as "discussion only" and no formal action was taken on those items.

The minutes record the key change to the policy as permitting employees to sell up to 120 hours of accrued vacation leave provided they retain at least 20 hours after any sell‑back. The record does not list a roll-call vote or tally; the minutes simply note that each motion "carried."

Mr. Culpepper moved to adjourn, Mr. Burris seconded, and the meeting was adjourned. The committee did not assign follow-up tasks or specify an implementation date for the revised sell‑back policy in the minutes.
