County discusses revisions to administrative leave policy, sets feedback timeline
Summary
HR presented a condensed draft of the administrative leave policy that narrows some protected-leave language and sets 30/60/90-day notification and review timelines; the board will provide feedback within a week before it proceeds to the Business Meeting process.
Sue Baumgart, Klamath County Human Resources Director, presented a revised draft of the county's administrative leave policy at the April 14 administrative meeting. The draft condenses prior language, removes certain detailed provisions about protected leave and approvals, and establishes timeline thresholds: a 30-day notification period to HR, a 60-day review period that involves legal staff, and a 90-day threshold at which the Board may review the matter in executive session or a legal-hour meeting for employees on administrative leave.
Board members and HR agreed to allow more time for feedback. Commissioners asked to receive comments within one week; if no substantial feedback is received, HR will move the draft through the Business Meeting approval process. If substantive concerns are raised, the policy will return to the board for further discussion.
The presentation did not include revised policy language verbatim in the administrative summary, and no final action or vote was taken. The county flagged legal review as part of the process.
