Information

Agenda Item

Discuss, consider and take appropriate action regarding the request of the Tax Assessor/Collector's office to pay non-exempt staff for overtime in lieu of giving compensatory time.  The total amount shall not exceed $50,000 for work performed in association with processing registrations and title transactions in the statutorily mandated deadline.

Background

When non-exempt employees work more than 40 hrs/week, they receive comp-time rather than being paid overtime.  Our workload continues to grow as we face struggles to hire and fill vacant positions.  Accumulating comp-time compounds our staffing issues when granting vacation or sick time, already significantly impacting our office's wait times and service levels.  We have over $80,000 in unspent salary funds due to vacancies as of 07/15/2021.
