Board directs staff to advertise one-time employee bonus ordinance
Summary
The board voted to direct staff to advertise a local ordinance authorizing a one-time bonus for employees (2% for eligible full-time employees; $300 for qualifying part-time), to be considered for adoption at the June meeting; staff said state statute requires an ordinance for comp board employees.
County staff told the board the General Assembly had provided guidance and that state law requires a local ordinance to authorize onetime bonuses for comp-board and other state-funded positions. Staff proposed 2% for qualifying full-time employees and a $300 flat payment for certain part-time positions; supervisors discussed whether the approach should be a flat-dollar payment or percentage-based and noted statutory constraints.
A motion to direct staff to advertise an ordinance establishing the one-time employee bonus as outlined was made and the board voted to authorize advertising the ordinance for consideration at the June regular meeting. Staff noted that, without an ordinance, state disbursements tied to social-services positions would not be released.
