THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Ingham Board of Commissioners approves the following recommendations, as proposed by the Managerial/Confidential/Elected Officials Steering Committee, to the 2009-2010 Managerial/Confidential Personnel Manual as follows:

  3. Decrease sick time accruals for employees hired after January 1, 2009 as follows:  Full-time employees hired on or after January 1, 2009, shall earn sick leave credit at a rate of four (4.0) hours each payroll period.  Three quarter-time and part-time employees hired after January 1, 2009, shall earn 75% and 50% of that amount, respectively.
  4. Upon the retirement of an employee, 50% of a maximum 1600 hours, to a maximum pay out of 800 hours at the current hourly rate: upon death, this same calculation to his/her MERS Beneficiary.
  5. Change the language for sick time payout to read:  Upon retirement or death, employees or their beneficiaries will be paid 50% of the balance of unused sick leave up to a maximum of 1,600 hours at their current hourly rate.  Pay out will not exceed 800 hours.
