Tatum tables timekeeping changes but requires employee leave reports in packets

City Council of the City of Tatum · May 18, 2026

Summary

Council tabled action on timekeeping hardware and app options to allow further research, but voted unanimously to require that employee sick and vacation leave tracking reports be included in monthly council packets going forward.

The City of Tatum Council opted to postpone any immediate change to its timekeeping procedures while agreeing to include employee leave tracking in its regular council packets.

Council Member Tate Smith opened discussion on evaluating alternatives such as physical time clock machines and digital mobile applications. After review, Smith moved to table the timekeeping matter until the next regular meeting to allow further research; the motion carried unanimously. Separately, Smith moved that employee sick leave and vacation tracking reports be formally included in monthly council packets moving forward; that motion also passed unanimously.

Council members noted the office attendance policy requiring staff to be on duty from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. had been previously approved but had been omitted from prior minutes; the item was recorded for public verification and required no vote.
