Ellettsville council amends policy to let police convert holiday hours to floating time
Summary
Council approved an amendment to Personnel Policy 305 allowing police employees who work a holiday to receive regular pay for hours worked and convert unused holiday hours to floating holidays; council debated whether the change should apply to other departments but approved it for police scheduling needs.
The council voted July 14 to approve an amendment to Personnel Policy 305 that allows police employees who work on holidays to receive regular pay for hours worked and convert unused holiday hours into floating holidays.
Town manager (speaker 2) presented the request and said the change would aid scheduling for police personnel who sometimes must work holidays. "I'd like the permission to add to that employees of the police department who regularly work 40 hours a week and work a holiday will receive the normal rate of pay for all hours worked on the holiday, and the unused holiday hours will convert to floating holidays," the town manager said.
Council members asked whether the policy should apply to other departments; staff and members discussed the difference between overtime and comp time and said the existing policy already allows flexibility in some departments. The fire department representative reported their department felt the current policy provided adequate flex time and did not require the proposed change.
After discussion, a council member moved to approve the proposed change, the motion was seconded and the council adopted the amendment by roll call. The town manager thanked the council.
