Vernon County commissioners approve parental leave for secondary caregivers
Summary
The county commission unanimously approved parental leave allowing secondary caregivers up to five days of sick leave plus the option to use accrued vacation; the change will be added to the Vernon County Personnel Manual.
The Vernon County Commission voted unanimously Sept. 3 to add parental leave for secondary caregivers to the county personnel manual. Commissioner Cindy Thompson moved to approve the policy, Commissioner Everett L. Wolfe seconded, and the board recorded a unanimous yes vote.
Under the approved policy, a secondary caregiver following the birth or adoption of a child may use up to five (5) days of sick time and may also use accrued vacation time if desired. The minutes state the language will be added to the Vernon County Personnel Manual; the record does not specify an effective date beyond the motion.
The action was taken during the regular session; no public comment or amendments to the motion were recorded in the minutes. The commission ordered adjournment later the same day and recorded the vote in the official minutes.
