Nobles County opens catastrophic leave sharing bank under Policy P-243B
Summary
The board approved opening the county's Catastrophic Leave Sharing Bank (Policy P-243B), allowing employees to receive donated leave (up to 480 hours per medical emergency) subject to medical verification and a donation window, effective after the board vote.
Nobles County commissioners voted April 22 to open the Catastrophic Leave Sharing Bank under Policy P-243B, allowing employees who face prolonged medical absences to receive donated leave after exhausting their own annual leave. The policy permits up to 480 hours of donated time per employee per medical emergency, contingent upon medical verification; the board approved an open donation window if the bank is depleted.
The item was described by staff as a mechanism to support employees during critical illnesses and to allow donations outside the annual benefit enrollment period if needed. The motion to open the bank was moved by Justin Ahlers and seconded by Chris Dybevick and was recorded as duly passed in the minutes.
