Commissioners approve countywide sick‑leave donation form for employee donations
Summary
A staff‑drafted countywide sick‑leave donation form was introduced to allow employees in any department to donate leave to a colleague; commissioners approved accepting a donation request and agreed to keep approvals handled case‑by‑case with recordkeeping.
County staff introduced a draft form to standardize requests when an employee wishes to donate sick leave to a colleague across departments.
The staff member said they had created a form so donations could be used on a countywide basis rather than limited to the highway department: "I created 1. I was wondering if you guys would be willing to approve this as an official form to be put into use, then we can just fill it out and hand it to you guys for approval of the donation." Commissioners discussed maintaining case‑by‑case approval and ensuring a written record is kept in employee files. A motion to accept the donation request was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Board direction: staff will keep the new form on file and continue to bring individual donation approvals to the commission for final authorization.
