Commissioners amend employee handbook on tardiness in 2-1 vote
Summary
The board adopted Resolution No. 01-20-26 B to clarify tardiness rules and use of compensatory time, with a 2-1 vote (Commissioner Musselman opposed); the amendment establishes warning/suspension thresholds and requires supervisor approval for comp-time use to cover anticipated lateness.
The Miami County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 01-20-26 B to amend the county's Employee Handbook policy on tardiness. The amendment clarifies that employees may use accrued compensatory time to cover anticipated lateness if they notify their supervisors before the workday and receive supervisor approval, and it specifies disciplinary thresholds: three tardies in any month or six tardies in any six-month period will trigger a letter of warning and may lead to suspension without pay for subsequent offenses.
Commissioner Mark Horner moved to adopt the amendment and Commissioner Brenda Weaver seconded; the motion passed 2-1 with Commissioner Keith Musselman voting no. The resolution will be incorporated into the handbook and distributed to employees. The resolution text notes that these clarifications are "not intended for oversleeping or habitual lateness" and that pattern-based issues may lead to discipline. (The published resolution sets the effective date in the document as Jan. 21; meeting materials adopt the change and staff will distribute the updated handbook.)
