Board, Commission or Committee Recommendation

Body
As a result of the continued review of current Personnel Rules and Regulations and the implementation of the Executime timekeeping software, revisions to two rules are presented for approval. Executime allows employees to enter leave requests in 15 minutes increments. As a result, management suggested that the Rules should be updated to allow employees to request leave in 15 rather than 30 minute increments. The Personnel Board reviewed the revised rules at their November 6th meeting and motions were passed to support the revisions. Additionally, the proposed revisions were forwarded for comment to all four Unions within the County via the president/steward. No objections were raised by the Unions.
An overview of the changes, per rule are as follows:
1. Rule 705 - Annual Leave Request: The revision reflects that annual leave shall be charged in no less than multiples of fifteen minutes.
2. Rule 708 - Sick Leave Request: Similar to Rule 705, the revision reflects that sick leave shall be charged in no less than multiples of fifteen minutes.
The revised rules are attached in the tracking format in order to identify the specific changes.
Alternatives
Council could elect to modify any of the proposed rules or they could elect not to approve any of the proposed rule revisions.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
There is no fiscal impact to the county since the accrued employee leave banks would not be affected.
