Board agrees to honor June 15 as holiday for AFSCME staff this year
Summary
Commissioners discussed whether AFSCME-covered court staff must use personal time and agreed to honor June 15 as a holiday for affected staff this year; the chair said he would review contracts and report back next month on details.
The Alger County Board discussed whether to treat June 15 as a holiday for AFSCME-covered staff and voted to honor the date for staff covered under the relevant contract this year. Commissioners debated whether employees must use personal time or receive holiday pay under existing contracts; the chair said he would examine the contract language and report back at the next meeting.
During the discussion the chair noted that contract language determines whether particular staff receive paid holiday time and that some court staff might be treated differently. "I'll review the situation, report back next month," the chair said. The board's action directed staff to check contractual obligations and follow the contract provisions for holiday pay and scheduling.
