Cherokee County adopts handbook changes; new hires capped at 480 hours sick time
Summary
The Board voted unanimously to update the county handbook: employees may carry over up to one week of vacation, must use comp‑time before paid leave, new employees will be capped at 480 hours of sick time, and may accrue up to four weeks of vacation.
Commissioner Myra Frazier opened discussion on proposed handbook changes at the March 10 meeting. Office heads present, including County Treasurer Heather Sapp and Register of Deeds Karen Johnston, discussed options such as comp‑time handling and sick leave accrual. After discussion, Commissioner Frazier moved to update the handbook with the following provisions: carryover of up to one week of vacation, a requirement to use all comp‑time before paid leave, a 480‑hour sick‑time cap for new employees, and a cap of four weeks' vacation accrual for new employees. Commissioner Cory Moates seconded the motion, and the vote was unanimous.
The minutes record these specific accrual and carryover limits but do not provide implementing administrative procedures; human resources staff are expected to update handbook documents and communicate changes to office heads.
