County updates personnel manual: overtime for election workers, reassignment pay, workers’ comp follow-ups
Summary
Saint Clair County amended its personnel manual to clarify overtime approvals for election-related work, extend temporary reassignment pay to the next regular commission meeting, and allow workers injured on the job to attend follow-up appointments without using personal time. All three measures were approved by the commission.
The county attorney presented three proposed personnel manual changes and the commission approved each item. The changes clarify that overtime for election-related activities may be authorized (with approval from the probate judge and elected officials), expand temporary reassignment compensation to run until the next regular commission meeting rather than a fixed 10-day limit, and allow employees injured on the job to attend follow-up medical appointments without using personal time if they provide appropriate documentation.
The county attorney described how the amendments remove ambiguity about who authorizes overtime for election staffing and how supervisors may compensate employees temporarily. Commissioners voted to adopt the amendments, which staff said will be incorporated into the policy manual and applied going forward for election operations and workers’ comp follow-up appointments.
