Committee praises payroll work, plans Locis 8 training and recommends new vacation‑use rule and bi‑weekly task lists
Summary
M. Murphy reported finalized 2024 payroll, completed and mailed W‑2s, started FY26 budget work and will begin Locis 8 setup with the treasurer; the Personnel Committee recommended employees submit bi‑weekly day‑to‑day task lists and proposed changing the vacation policy to require use by Dec. 31 or forfeiture.
M. Murphy, the village clerk (as identified by job functions in the meeting), told the committee she finalized 2024 payroll, set up 2025 payroll and completed and mailed employee W‑2s; she said she has begun work on the FY26 budget and appropriations and will begin Locis 8 setup and training with the treasurer in two weeks.
Committee members praised Murphy for learning her role quickly. Committee member J. Marques proposed that employees provide bi‑weekly lists of day‑to‑day tasks so members can better understand job duties without micromanaging. Marques also raised concerns about end‑of‑year vacation payouts and argued "employees should be taking the paid vacation time that the village provides to full‑time employees," prompting the committee to recommend both the task‑list practice and a change to the employee manual to require use of vacation by Dec. 31 or lose it. K. Houchin moved to adjourn at 3:30 p.m.; the motion was seconded and carried by the present committee members.
