LCAS m <br /> NOItTH <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />John V. Witherspoon, County Manager <br />D~oorhead, Personnel Officer <br /> <br />DATE: February 1, 1994 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Conversion of Annual Leave to Sick Leave <br /> <br />I recommend that the Board of Commissioners adopt the attached resolution implementing an <br />Annual Leave Conversion Policy. The conversion of excess vacation leave to sick leave would be <br />beneficial to deserving employees by increasing available sick leave and its possible use toward <br />retirement. This could be expected to improve employee morale and keep Cabarms County in <br />line with the many cities and counties that are passing similar resolutions. <br /> <br />Currently employees having in excess of 240 hours vacation leave (336 hours for Emergency <br />Medical Services personnel on a 24 hours on, 48 hours off shift) lose those hours at the end of <br />each calendar year. At the end of 1993, twenty-seven employees lost 307.51 hours of vacation <br />leave or an average of 11.39 hours per employee. These are long-term employees that have built <br />up accumulated vacation leave due to their commitment to the county residents they serve. <br /> <br />The adoption of this resolution could be expected to have little or no financial impact on the <br />county. Your review and hearty endorsement of this recommendation would be appreciated. <br /> <br />lph <br /> <br />attachment <br /> <br />Box 707 · O,;r!cord ?lC 2;5C-25 0,7,37 -. ,7~}4) 738-S:E0 * Char!c;t~ ;.",7'~-; ,Z:S :._') <br /> <br /> <br />
