Comm. Ninutes--August 1, 1990 493 Page 14, paragraph 4--Commissioners were not in favor of paying unused compensatory time in cash overtime payments at the end of the calendar year as stated in the proposed policy. In the event forfeiture is not a legality, Hr. Shannon suggested that accrued compensatory time be used by the end of six months. Hr. Riches said he will have to research this with FLSA. As an alternative, he suggested limiting the amount of time that can be accrued to less than what the current policy is. Accountant Nike Nontplaisir said compensatory time and vacation time are recorded as a liability at the end of the year. Page 14, paragraph 6 referring to exempt employees--add underlined language to the following sentence: If, however, circumstances arise that require considerable extra work time, time off with pay may be authorized by a Department Head upon consultation with the Personnel Director and by written consent including the chairman of the county board and that a detailed monthly report shall be provided by the Personnel Department to the county commission ten days before the second regular meeting of each month. This way, the Commission can effectively monitor to what extent this is being used. Page 15, paragraph 6--add "for the third shift" at the end of the second sentence· Page 15--add t6 paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 7 and elsewhere in the document the following underlined language pertaining to recommendation by the Personnel Director: "based upon a review of the recommendation by the Personnel Director." Page 16, paragraph lO--earned merit increases. Hr. Riches said this would not be put into place until the performance appraisal system is established, and Nr. Shannon asked that this section be tabled. Page 16, paragraph 11--add the following underlined language to last sentence: "All such requests must have written approval of the Personnel Director and the Commission Chairman." Page 16, paragraph 12--explanation requested by Hr. Wieland. Hr. Riches said he was approached by the Data Processing Nanager about on-call pay. This would also affect the Naintenance Department and Child Protection Agency. Nr. Shannon said the terms "regular basis" need some definition and he recommended adding Commission approval with a follow-up monthly report so it can be monitored. Nr. Wieland suggested that the Commission be notified every six months if there are no changes in the list of on-call employees. CHAPTER 4, BENEFITS SECTION 4.1 ANNUAL LEAVE Hr. Wieland asked if the county could require or at least encourage employees to use annual leave each year rather than accumulate it. Mr, Riches did not wish to see it mandated, He said very few people accumulate annual leave to the maximum, A question was raised about a person being allowed to carry over benefits from another county or state office. The county hiring that person has to encumber benefits such as annual leave or sick leave.
