Commissioners amend longevity-pay plan to make benefits effective on third anniversary
Summary
The court amended the county's longevity-pay plan so employees receive prorated longevity pay in the year they reach three years of service rather than waiting until the following year; the treasurer explained the prior wording caused confusion and delay.
The court approved an amendment to the county's longevity-pay plan so longevity pay becomes effective on an employee’s three‑year anniversary and is prorated for the remainder of that year.
The treasurer explained that the prior policy wording had caused employees to wait up to a year to receive longevity pay after reaching the three‑year milestone. As discussed: “So, what we run into for a long time is ... the way it reads is when you get your anniversary date ... you wouldn't get it in the year that you actually hit the three mark,” and the amendment corrects that by granting the prorated check in the year the employee becomes eligible. The change was approved by motion and voice vote.
County officials said the revision should simplify administration and reduce employee confusion about eligibility timing.
