Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
Item is non-fiscal Policy correction only.
Background:
BOS Policy A-20, revised and approved March 25, 2008, did not specify guidelines for "non-management" sworn officers. Because of this, EDC Payroll is unable to initiate requested pay differentials of cell phone allowance for some County employees.
Reason for Recommendation:
Information Technologies is recommending approval of amended BOS Policy A-20 retroactive to March 25, 2008 to correctly represent guidelines for non-management sworn officers.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1) Amended Policy A-20 to be ratified by BOS and included in BOS Policy Manual.
2) Board Clerk to forward signed copy of amended policy A-20 directly to Debbie Barfield in Payroll with direction to process pay differentials, pertaining to cell phone allowance, retroactively as applicable but no earlier than March 25, 2008.
