County attorney proposes, commission adopts personnel manual updates for overtime and temporary assignments
Summary
The county attorney presented three personnel-policy updates—overtime for election activities, extending temporary supervisory assignments to the next regular commission meeting, and paid follow-up work-comp appointments—which the commission approved.
The county attorney presented three proposed updates to the county employees manual and the commission approved each by motion. The changes clarify overtime authorization for election-related activities (approval by the probate judge or relevant elected official), extend supervisors’ authority to assign employees to higher or lower duties up to the next regular commission meeting, and allow employees injured on the job to attend follow-up medical appointments without using personal time if they provide documentation.
The attorney summarized the first change as authorizing overtime for employees "from probate court as approved by the probate judge," and commissioners discussed how elected officials would certify overtime for their employees. The commission approved the revisions after discussion at the work session and moved them into the policy manual for implementation.
