Custer County adopts multiple Employee Handbook updates and forms review committee
Summary
The Commission approved revisions to the Employee Handbook including a forfeiture rule for vacation accrued before six months of employment, reinstated law-enforcement overtime language (overtime after 43 hours/week; Highway Safety hours at 1.5x), consolidation of amendments, and formation of a Handbook Committee to review language.
Human Resources Director Amber Maidens presented several changes to the Employee Handbook and requested committee formation for review. The Commission approved: an update that forfeited accrued vacation if an employee leaves before six months (noting county probationary period remains one year); reinstatement of law enforcement overtime verbiage specifying overtime begins after 43 hours per week and that Highway Safety hours are paid at 1.5x; consolidation of prior amendments into a single handbook; and formation of a Handbook Committee to provide additional review.
All motions passed unanimously. Maidens said consolidating amendments and committee review will help prevent omissions and improve clarity for employees moving forward.
