Resolution No. 20 (2024)
RESOLUTION AMENDING PERSONNEL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
HANDBOOK
COVER MEMO
TO: County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator
DATE: June 4, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Amending Personnel Policies and Procedures Handbook
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Pay Periods and Timekeeping Policy Proposed Changes
Added language to the Exempt Timekeeping Guidelines clarifying the process for
exempt employees assigned a FTE less than 1.0.
Exempt Timekeeping Guidelines
Exempt employees shall enter all hours worked daily. Full-time (1.0 FTE) exempt employees
should have eighty (80) paid hours on their timecard per pay period. Any hours worked in excess
of eighty (80) hours should be recorded as excess hours on their timecard. Exempt employees
assigned less than a 1.0 FTE should report their prorated hour requirement as paid hours on
their timecard every pay period. For example, exempt employees assigned a .8 FTE should have
sixty-four (64) paid hours on their timecard every pay period (.8 FTE x 40 hours/week x 2 week
pay period = 64 hours). Any hours worked in excess of an employee's assigned FTE should be
recorded as excess hours. The County is committed to work-life balance and will strive to
manage workloads effectively. Still, there may be times when exempt employees need to work
beyond their FTE to fulfill job responsibilities. Due to the employee's exempt status, these
excess hours are unpaid. Tracking excess hours on the timecard allows for data insight into
workload, position and FTE needs.
