Ivanhoe updates employee handbook: holidays added, PTO and comp‑time rules revised
Summary
Council approved multiple handbook changes: aligning city holidays with Tyler County (adding Columbus Day, MLK Day, Presidents' Day and Juneteenth), adopting a new PTO schedule with larger accruals for longer service, and setting comp‑time rules for police (40-hour accrual limit, 20-hour rollover).
The council voted to align Ivanhoe's holiday schedule with Tyler County, adding Columbus Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents' Day and Juneteenth to the city's list. The change passed with a motion from council and no recorded dissent.
Council also approved a rewritten PTO chart: full-time employees (40-hour workweek) would receive 24 hours in year one; 80 hours in years two and three; 120 hours in year four; and 160 hours after five years (four weeks). Part-time tiers were likewise updated. On comp time, the council set limits for police: up to 40 hours accrued annually, with up to 20 hours rolled into the next year and forfeiture of amounts above 20 hours on Oct. 1 if not used. Committee discussion addressed payout on termination and whether certain accruals are legally owed; staff noted Texas law on final pay and accruals and the policy was designed to simplify administration.
