Pickens county Board of Commissioners discuss employee handbook updates during February 2nd work session

The Pickens County Board of Commissioners met on February 2nd for its monthly work session.  The only item on the agenda was employee handbook updates.

The discussion mainly focused on the requirement for employees to present documentation when using sick days.  Currently if the sick days exceed 2 concurrent days then the supervisor may require documentation from the employee.  This could be updated to change this requirement to 2 days, of course it would depend on the discretion of the supervisor.

There was also discussion regarding comp time, holiday pay, and retirement.  The changes, if made, could effect all County employees if they opt in on the terms and agreements.

FYN will follow up after the board’s regular meeting at which time changes could be implemented.
