The Washington County Board of Supervisors approved eliminating temporary COVID-19 related changes to the employee handbook during their recent meeting.

Human Resources Director Amber Day presented a resolution for these changes to take effect July 1st, as the need to limit operations in county facilities to only essential personnel has largely been eliminated. The resolution states that as of July 1st family sick hours will no longer be unlimited, and if an employee has already used five days of sick leave or more for family use, they will no longer have any to use for the remainder of the calendar year. The maximum vacation bank hours allowed for full-time and part-time employees will be reduced to 200 and 120 hours respectively.
