Purpose and Request:

title

Request by Budget Management for approval to temporarily amend Section §11.03 of the Harris County Personnel Policies and Procedures to allow regular position employees to accrue a maximum of 320 vacation leave hours until September 11, 2021.

Background and Discussion:

Since the onset of COVID-19, Commissioners Court has authorized temporary amendments to the Harris County Personnel Policies and Procedures to respond to the pandemic. Extending the 320-hour maximum vacation leave accrual past Labor Day should give employees the opportunity to use vacation leave before the maximum decreases to 280 hours.     

 

Fiscal Impact:

There could be a small fiscal impact of extending the vacation leave maximum accrual to September 11th if an employee terminates employment and final benefits are paid based on the higher accrual maximum.
