Commissioners approve changes to longevity pay, sick leave and vacation accruals
Harrison County approved multiple employee handbook revisions: longevity pay shifts from biweekly to an annual lump sum (eligibility moved to one year), sick-leave maximum raised from 360 to 480 hours, and vacation accrual and eligibility rules were revised to biweekly accrual with adjusted accrual brackets.

Human-resources representative Johnson presented several revisions to the employee handbook. On longevity pay she said the changes reflect employee survey results: "47% preferred the the lump sum, 29% preferred per pay period, and, 24% said it did not matter." Under the revision longevity pay will be paid annually in November (paid in arrears) and the eligibility waiting period will move from three years to one year.
