Board clarifies part-time Extension role as permanent part-time and benefits-eligible
Summary
Wadena County clarified that the part-time Extension position (separated from Elections) is a permanent part-time role of 20 hours per week and is eligible for benefits; the motion carried unanimously.
Human Services & Human Resources Director Jennifer Westrum asked the board to clarify whether a part-time Extension position separated from Elections is permanent part-time (20 hours/week, benefits eligible) or casual part-time (average 14 hours/week, not benefits eligible).
Commissioner Bryan Winkels moved to clarify the position as a permanent part-time role. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Murlyn Kreklau and carried unanimously.
The board's clarification makes the Extension hire a 20-hour-per-week position eligible for benefits under county policy, and the county will proceed with hiring under that status.
