Board approves part-time classification for employee, noting WRS implications if hours increase
Summary
The board voted to reclassify T. Halverson as a part-time employee retroactive to Sept. 1, 2024, at an average of 23 hours per week; trustees noted that exceeding 25 hours weekly would trigger Wisconsin Retirement System participation.
Trustee Bob Hulett moved on Sept. 9 to change employee T. Halverson’s classification to 'Part-time Employee' retroactive to Sept. 1, 2024, with average hours recorded as 23 per week; Trustee Steve Roseth seconded and the motion passed with four yes votes.
Clerk/Treasurer Tammy Weisman and President Joe Kniseley had raised the issue after noting Halverson had been averaging more than 25 hours per week. The board discussed that the part-time classification carries eligibility for holiday pay and paid leave time (PLT). Members also noted a separate administrative threshold: if an employee continues at 25 or more hours per week, participation in the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) would be required.
Why it matters: changing classification affects entitlement to paid leave and holiday pay and can have payroll and retirement-benefit implications if hours cross statutory thresholds.
Next steps: the classification change is retroactive to Sept. 1, 2024, as approved; staff should monitor hours to determine if WRS participation becomes necessary.
