Personnel Ordinance Revision -Holiday Worked <br />The Board considered a revision to the personnel ordinance to provide employees the <br />option of taking time off in lieu of pay for hours worked on holidays. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that it might be better to keep this the way it is instead of <br />changing it because there may be a problem with taking time off. <br />Personnel Director Elaine Holmes said that the policy would allow the department heads <br />the discretion to make a decision whether the time could be granted as time off. <br />John Link said that this was a very important morale item for the employees. <br />Elaine Holmes said that she did talk to the department heads as a group and the <br />department heads felt that they could work with this requirement that those who could allow the time <br />off would, but others would not if the operating requirements did not permit it. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to <br />approve a revision to the personnel ordinance to provide employees the option of taking time off in <br />lieu of pay for hours worked on holidays. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />9.
