Summary

Council amended the personnel policy manual to add Section 703(C): if an employee chooses not to clock in/out for lunch or evening meal breaks, it will be assumed a one-hour break was taken unless otherwise noted on the timesheet.

The Kimball City Council approved an amendment to the personnel policy manual adding Section 703(C). The new text specifies that if an employee chooses not to clock in or out for lunch or evening meal breaks, the city will assume a one-hour break was taken unless otherwise noted on the employee's timesheet. The motion (by Janish, second by Bilben) passed unanimously.

Council members discussed the administrative practicality of the policy and how timesheet notation should be used to record deviations from the assumed one-hour break. The amendment formalizes expectations for payroll processing and aims to standardize break accounting for employees.
