710 <br />CONSENT <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Jason Brown <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: Suzanne Boyll <br />Human Resources Director <br />DATE: September 24, 2019 <br />SUBJECT: Revision to Administrative Policy AM -301.3 Overtime and AM -502.1 Vacation <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Indian River County has established administrative policies outlining various policies, practices <br />and procedures applicable to County employees. The policies are reviewed, and recommended <br />revisions are presented to the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (IRCBOCC) for <br />consideration. Subsequent to the contractual changes negotiated with the Teamsters' Union, <br />Human Resources is recommending the attached revisions to AM -301.3 Overtime and AM -502.1 <br />Vacation policies. <br />The overtime policy is updated to provide for competitive compensation for non-exempt <br />employees who are required to work during a declared emergency when other employees are <br />relieved of duty. Employees working their normal shift while other employees are relieved of <br />duty with pay will receive two times their time for hours worked during their normal shift. Hours <br />worked outside of their normal shift will be paid at time and one-half. This is consistent with the <br />compensation paid to employees represented by the Teamsters' union. <br />In addition, the vacation policy is updated to provide for a common vacation accrual schedule for <br />employees regardless of the date of hire. The criteria for accruing vacation for the month has <br />also been more clearly explained. There is no change to the maximum accrual/carryover <br />amounts. This is consistent with the accrual schedule for employees represented by the <br />Teamsters' union. <br />FUNDING: <br />The impact to overtime funding is included in the funding for expenses associated with a declared <br />emergency. <br />There may be a negligible increase cost associated with possible overtime expenses resulting <br />from the additional vacation day accrual if the employee's position needs to be backfilled using <br />overtime.. This would not be realized until the FY20/21 budget. <br />119 <br />
