Subject:
Discussion and possible action to approve a one-time exception to the operational order and approve an hourly rate of $20.00 for a temporary part-time employee in the Webb County Treasurer’s Office from June through September 30th, 2025, and any other matters incident thereto. The operational general order states that pay for part-time employees cannot exceed $15.00/hour unless specific approval is authorized by the Commissioners Court. [Account #1001-1250-001-412000 (Part-Time Account)]
Issue: The Treasurer’s Office is requesting to hire a temporary part-time employee to train alongside the current Chief Principal Accountant, who is scheduled to retire in September 2025. The proposed hourly rate of $20.00 is necessary to attract a qualified candidate capable of fulfilling critical financial responsibilities during the transition period.
Solution: Seek Commissioners Court approval to authorize a temporary exception to the $15.00/hour cap, allowing the Treasurer’s Office to offer $20.00/hour for the training and onboarding of a temporary part-time employee.
Result: This action will ensure continuity of operations within the Treasurer’s Office by allowing sufficient time for training and knowledge transfer prior to the retirement of the Chief Principal Accountant, without disruption to departmental functions.
