DeWitt County committee recommends part‑time paid leave accrual to the full board
Summary
The Finance Committee voted to recommend revising policy 38.040 to require part‑time employees to earn paid leave at 1 hour per 40 worked, effective Dec. 1, 2024; the motion passed on a voice vote with one no vote from Dan Matthews.
The Finance Committee on Aug. 19 voted to recommend that the full county board adopt a revision to policy 38.040 (Paid Leave Time) to require part‑time employees to earn paid leave at a rate of one hour for every 40 hours worked. The proposed policy would allow carryover up to a maximum of 40 hours and provide payout of unused earned time upon resignation. The minutes record the motion (Ferguson, 2nd Prestegaard) passed by voice vote with Dan Matthews recorded as voting no; the revision is to take effect Dec. 1, 2024.
The committee discussion drew attention to the mechanics of accrual and carryover; the revised policy language is attached to the minutes and lists detailed conditions including the county fiscal year (Dec. 1–Nov. 30) and a 90‑day waiting period for eligibility. The committee recommended the change to the full board for adoption.
