Lockney council shifts to bi-weekly payroll and approves Time Clock Plus
Summary
The Lockney City Council voted to change payroll from semi-monthly to bi-weekly and approved Time Clock Plus for hourly, part-time and seasonal employees, while exempting salaried staff. Council members said the changes align payroll timing and timekeeping procedures.
The Lockney City Council approved a change to the city's payroll schedule, moving from semi-monthly pay (on the 15th and last day of the month) to a bi-weekly cycle and amending the personnel policy accordingly.
"A motion was made by Donnie McLaughlin to accept the payroll sequence to bi-weekly from semi-monthly, and changing the personnel policy accordingly," the minutes record. Councilman Donnie McLaughlin moved the change and Councilwoman Rosio Reyes seconded. The motion passed unanimously by a 4-0 vote.
Council members also approved the purchase and implementation of a Time Clock Plus system to record hours for hourly, part-time and seasonal employees; salaried city staff were explicitly exempted from the time-clock requirement. "Ed Marks made a motion to approve the use of a payroll timeclock and accept the proposal from Time Clock Plus for the purchase of the software," the minutes state; the motion was seconded by Dart Carthel and approved 4-0.
City officials said the personnel policy will be updated to reflect the payroll schedule change and the time-clock implementation; the minutes do not specify an implementation date or the expected cost of the Time Clock Plus purchase.
