LaMoure County adopts sick‑leave donation rules, tightens dress‑code language and approves telecommuting policy
Summary
The commissioners approved changes clarifying that donated sick leave is an irrevocable gift, added supervisory authority over employee appearance and adopted a short-term telecommuting agreement requirement; the board also renewed county liability coverage limits with NDIRF at $3 million.
LaMoure County commissioners approved several personnel-policy updates and an insurance renewal during their Oct. 15 meeting.
The board approved a revision to the donation-of-sick-leave policy clarifying that donated leave is considered a gift and cannot be returned to the donating employee. Commissioners also approved language additions to the Dress Code/Appearance policy giving supervisors responsibility for providing appearance guidelines and authority to ask employees to change clothing or cover tattoos deemed inappropriately displayed before beginning work. The county also adopted a Short‑Term Telecommuting Policy that requires employees to sign a telecommuting agreement.
Additionally, Commissioner Lee Miller moved to renew the county’s policy with the North Dakota Insurance Reserve Fund (NDIRF) at a $3 million liability limit, the same limit as the previous year; the motion carried.
The changes were approved unanimously; county staff will implement the updated policies and collect signed telecommuting agreements where applicable.
