Former supervisor Elaine Hendrix raises concern about sudden Pine Valley schedule change

Richland County Executive and Finance Standing Committee · August 28, 2026

Summary

During public comment, Elaine Hendrix, a former supervisor, said a 25-year Pine Valley employee who had stepped down to weekends and on-call was removed from the schedule without notice, a move Hendrix said contradicts prior statements from the Pine Valley administrator.

During the committee's public-comment period, former supervisor Elaine Hendrix asked the committee to review a recent personnel decision at Pine Valley. Hendrix said a long-time employee — who had served Pine Valley for 25 years and had requested to change status from full time to weekend/on-call shifts — was removed from weekend scheduling without warning after resigning the full-time role.

Hendrix said the removal appeared to conflict with what she had been told by the Pine Valley administrator and requested the committee's attention before a closed-door session later in the meeting. "When she stepped down from her full time role, she made it clear she was still willing to work her scheduled weekends and fill in as needed... Then without warning, she was removed," Hendrix said on the record.
