Selectboard orders daily highway time reports after payroll and equipment concerns
Summary
Following incomplete highway timesheets and recent equipment breakdowns, the board authorized payment of outstanding highway invoices and directed that highway staff complete daily employee time reports starting Dec. 11; the board also approved payment of outstanding highway fuel and service slips.
The Selectboard addressed multiple operational issues for the highway department — equipment repairs, fuel invoices and incomplete time reporting that had delayed payroll processing. The highway foreman reported recent service needs including a broken leaf spring, brake issues on the green truck, a replaced spinner hose and new front tires; the board approved an order to pay outstanding highway labor and fuel invoices.
After discussion of missing and incomplete time sheets, a board member moved that "beginning... December 11... our highway employees are to fill out the employee weekly time report on a daily basis using the December 2025 version" and the board seconded and approved the action. The board also instructed staff to prepare a manual order so payroll would not be delayed while time‑sheet forms are corrected. Members emphasized rounding timesheets to quarter‑hour increments and ensuring project/job detail is recorded so payroll and accounting can process checks.
