Summary

Committee recommended payment of unused PTO to Chris Olen ($701.53) after resignation and to the estate/beneficiary of probation officer Neil Assante ($11,801.73) following his death on May 14, 2026.

The committee considered two personnel separation payouts. Julie Griffis, human resources generalist, presented a request to pay unused accumulated paid time off to Christine (Chris) Olen of the Clerk's Office following her resignation effective May 15, 2026; the minutes record a payout of $701.53 to be paid from the Employee Separations account (298.000.701.001).

Separately, the committee reviewed a request to pay unused accumulated PTO to probation officer Neil Assante, who the minutes record as having passed away on May 14, 2026. The requested payout was $11,801.73 from the same Employee Separations account. The committee moved and recommended approval of both payouts.

Why it matters: payouts from the Employee Separations account finalize financial obligations to departing employees and, in the case of a deceased employee, disburse owed wages to the estate or designated beneficiary in accordance with county policy and applicable law.
