Commission approves minor wording changes to sick-leave policy

Coffee County Commission · April 15, 2026

Summary

The county approved a revision to its sick-leave policy intended to soften prior language after employee concerns; Commissioner Miller described the edits as minor wording changes and the policy passed 12–1.

Commissioner Miller brought forward a revised sick-leave policy that county staff and the policies committee had reviewed; Miller said the edits were small wording changes intended to address employee objections and not to change substantive policy. The commission moved and approved the revision with a recorded vote of 12 yes and 1 no.

Miller said the committee softened language that employees had found objectionable: “the wording was slightly changed to soften the thing that sounded like,” he said, adding the intent was to preserve existing policy while addressing staff concerns. The policy was adopted as presented.
