Courthouse time-clock rollout raises supervisor concerns; motion rescinded
Summary
Staff raised concerns about the new courthouse time clock requiring a secretary to clock in before leaving for errands; the auditor said time sheets will be printed for supervisors and the motion to change elected-official adjustment rights was rescinded after discussion.
A new time-clock system for courthouse employees prompted discussion Jan. 7 when Brian Grosinger said the system requires his secretary, Crystal, to clock in at the courthouse before leaving for errands and called that requirement “an inconvenience for his employee.” Grosinger said he prefers the previous method of filling out time sheets and retaining control over approving vacation and sick leave.
Commissioners Abrahamson and Schlenvogt said supervisors retain their approval authority. Auditor Kimberly Wuori explained this is the first month of the time-clock rollout: "all time sheets would be printed out and sent to all the supervisors to look over and sign with employee and he is the one that will approve vacation," she said. Commissioner Zaste moved a motion "to have elected officials to have right to adjust time," but he later rescinded that motion; the minutes record a roll call vote after the rescission, recorded as unanimous.
The minutes do not record an operational change beyond the explanation that supervisors will receive printed time sheets and that the auditor will approve vacation in the system; no policy amendments were recorded and the matter will remain under departmental oversight.
