Potter County adopts policy-committee recommendations on background checks, holiday and payroll procedures
Summary
The court approved policy-committee recommendations to expand background-check bars to include felonies and theft-related misdemeanors, add Columbus Day to the holiday schedule, set payroll changes to take effect at the start of the following pay period and create a certificate-pay policy (bilingual pay to be considered separately).
Melinda, presenting the policy-committee report, told commissioners the committee recommended amending the county background-check policy to add felonies and theft-related misdemeanors as bars to employment and clarifying that exempt employees do not receive overtime, with specific exceptions to be decided by the court.
"The committee does recommend adding felonies and misdemeanors involving thefts as bars to employment to the county," Melinda said. Commissioners also discussed adding Columbus Day to the holiday list and standardizing payroll changes to take effect at the beginning of the following payroll period. The court approved the policy recommendations, including creation of a certificate-pay policy (with bilingual pay removed to be handled as a separate policy), and directed staff to return with any required budget amendments for implementation.
