INFORMAL COMMENTS:
The following individuals appeared before the Board to make informal comments:
Joseph DiBiasi of 53 Dorothy Brooks Lane, Roxboro stated that he lives adjacent to
the Woodsdale property also known as Project Log. He stated that he would like to address
an issue brought up at the last Commissioners’ meeting. He stated that in response to one of
the Commissioners stating, “that they are not a part of the cover up in regard to Woodsdale”.
Dibiasi read the definition of a cover up. He stated that the residents of Woodsdale believe
that the direction and leadership of Project Log committed several serious mistakes, and the
residents are asking for the truth. He stated that he has been interviewed by the local paper
and no word of the mishandling or mistakes were mentioned. He stated that several people
have submitted requests for the conveyance of the project, which is public knowledge, and
have not received acknowledgement of such requests. He stated from residents’ perspective,
the County and the Board are guilty of a cover up, and hopes that the issues are resolved,
and the truth is known, not through the residents’ investigation, but from County
representatives.

Vonda Frantz of 98 Elderberry Lane, Rougemont stated that it is heartbreaking to
see what is happening to our County, all because of a polluting source of energy, which is
worse in some ways than coal. She stated that a storage facility is being built for this
polluting source of energy, methane, with no respect for water quality, rare and protected
species, or for the human neighbors who spoke against it. She stated that she does not want
streams and water quality ruined in any part of the County, as well as protected and valuable
natural areas. She stated that it is everyone’s job to protect and benefit our County. She
stated that it is unfortunate that the State has approved natural gas as a part of a clean energy
plan. She stated that natural gas is simply another fossil fuel. She stated that these new plants
are going to cost residents billions of dollars over time on their utility bills, and will be
obsolete before they are finished. She stated that these fossil fuel companies are not thinking
of the future, only of their profits. She stated that she was one of the 35 people who spoke
against this methane storage facility, and she was not paid to be at the meeting. She stated
that the Board never identified anyone who was paid; therefore, she thinks the Board owes
the residents an apology for this accusation.
Andrea Childers of 270 Blackberry Lane, Rougemont stated that as a member of
Down Home, she asked the Board “Why have they chosen to leave millions of dollars from
the Inflation Reduction Act unclaimed?” She stated that North Carolina (NC) has received
$20B. She stated that the Board stated the reason they are allowing Dominion to poison the
residents is to help the residents of this County who suffer financially. She stated that the
Board has not applied for any of these grants. She stated that is hypocrisy at its finest. She
stated that she was disappointed that she did not see any of the Board members on May 23,
2024, at Dominion Energy’s open house. She stated while at the open house, she spoke to
several representatives from Dominion. She stated that when she asked Rusty how
Dominion plans to notify neighbors who had no cell phone service, he replied, “There will
not be any emergencies”. She stated that when she asked Brian what their plan to clean up
ground water, if it was contaminated, would be, and he replied that “It would not happen”.
She stated that accidents happen; that is why they are called accidents and not on purpose.
She stated that last week in Ohio, a methane gas explosion caused a bank to blow up, seven
people were injured, and one died. She stated that at the last meeting, she shared pictures of
her neighboring creek. She stated that the sediment pollution is not about the rainfall we
have been receiving; it is about the pollution that occurs several days after the storm. She
stated that when Dominion is skimming water off the top of the sediment ponds and
releasing it, she knows that they are following their best management practices. She stated
that even when they do their best, their best is not good enough. She stated that our creeks
are still polluted, not a little, but a lot. She stated that the creeks and the critters that live in
the creeks are being harmed. She asked, “What will be harmed next by Dominion’s best
actions”?

Jeff Hammer of 548 Potluck Farm Road, Rougemont asked for a moment of silence
for the 480 acres of the forest that has been destroyed with all the explosions and
construction trucks beeping constantly. He stated that he is here on behalf of Down Home
NC, as well as No MEC. He stated that he is a farmer who lives in the sacrifice zone with
his 12-year-old and all their animals. He stated that Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction
Act, to ensure that rural places in this country that are experiencing extreme energy price
hikes on a routine basis are protected, which includes NC. He urged the Board to look into
this, to improve the lives in this County, and not to bow down to giant conglomerations that
have absolutely no interest in protecting the environment.
Chester Downey of 1330 Chub Lake Road, Roxboro stated that he is a supervisor at
Polywood. He stated that he got off work at 3:00 p.m. today and was at the Parks and Rec
Department until 5:00 p.m. trying to rent a basketball gym. He stated that he was able to
rent a gym for two hours of practice for one week and was charged $270.00. He stated that
we want our kids off the streets, but what else is it for them to do. He stated that he has an
eleven-year-old son, who would do anything for basketball. He stated that we have got to
give our kids an outlet. He stated that he was one of the protestors that was locked up from
holding a gun. He stated that after that, he tried to find a better way, and the better way was
through the kids. He stated he is coming before the Board to see if he can get something
opened up for the kids, as it should not be that hard for him to get a gym for two hours. He
stated that for the past three years, he has been trying to get a gym, and finally rented it
today, and was told he could only get it for this week. He stated that he wants to do
something for the kids, and he sees what it does for his son and his son’s friends. He stated
that his basketball team is named “I Am”. He stated that when he says” I Am”, he means,
“We can be anything. I am Person County, I am Roxboro”.

NEW BUSINESS:
2025 REAPPRAISAL UPDATE
Tax Administrator Russell Jones presented the following update for the 2025
reappraisal.
7
2025 Reappraisal
• State law requires that counties conduct a reappraisal at least every eight
years. NCGS10S286.a(l)
• More frequent reappraisals keeps all property types closer to 100% of
market value to ensure each property is taxed fairly.
• Personal property, such as vehicles, mobile homes and boats, is valued at
100% of market value every year.
• Public utility companies are valued at 100% of market value every year.
• But, real estate is valued at 100% of market value only in a reappraisal
year.
-(Four year reappraisals equalize and distribute the tax burden fairly across
all three types of property more frequently.)
June 3, 2024
6
8
2025 Reappraisal
• State law allows counties to conduct a reappraisal more frequently than
every eight years. NCGS 105-286.a(3)
• Person County has been on a more frequent cycle, except for 2013 and
2021.

2025 Reappraisal-why 4 years?
• It eliminates potential revenue loss from public
utility companies, which are allowed to appeal
their values in the 1st, 4th and 7th years following a
revaluation. NCGS 105-284.
• Without a 2025 reappraisal, the estimated
revenue loss for 2025 would be $1,990,038.
($6,633,463 less 30%).
• This loss would continue until a reappraisal was
completed, or revisited on the 7th year (2028}.
• This would amount to a tax increase of $.036
($1,990,038/$552,650}.
June 3, 2024
10
12
Reappraisal-What determines value?
• When a revaluation occurs, state law requires
that the County appraise all real property, "at
market value". NCGS 105-283
• Market value is the most probable price at which
a property would change hands between a willing
and financially able buyer and a willing seller,
with neither being forced to buy or sel I.
• (Individuals who buy and sell real estate in the open market
establish the market value. Market value is not set by the
Person County Tax Office).
June 3, 2024
11
13
Reappraisal-How we determine value?
• Reappraisal is performed by our selected reappraisal
firm, Pearson's Appraisal Service, selected on July 17,
2023.
• Reappraisal is a two-year long process, in which a large
amount of objective data is collected to determine the
market value of the property.
• Staff used Pictometry photography to verify changes to
improvements from aerial images, resulting in 1,600
parcel changes.
• Pearson's Appraisal Service is currently visiting all
improved properties to gather photos and verify
property improvement further.
June 3, 2024
12
14
Developing Schedule of Values
• Pearson's Appraisal staff analyzes all data and sales to develop a
proposed Schedule of Values to be considered by Person County
Board of Commissioners.
• What is a Schedule of Values?
• A set of standards and rules specifically prepared by the reappraisal
staff to be considered by the Board of Commissioners for the
appraising of property. These standards and rules are really a large
"appraisal manual" which assures that all property will be appraised
in an accurate and consistent manner.
• The Schedule of Values is created following the study of the
County's current real estate market. This schedule, once approved
by the County Board of Commissioners, will be used to set the new
property values .
June 3, 2024
13
Chairman Powell asked if the reval was being done by a third party, to which
Jones responded, yes. Commissioner Palmer asked Jones how many contractors are in the
field, to which Jones replied, three. Commissioner Puryear asked that Jones be present for
the budget work session on June 5, 2024.
No action was taken by the Board, as this was an update for the 2025 reappraisal.
15
\Nhat next in the Reappraisal Process?
• August 1, 2024
Estimated completion of gathering street level
photography.
• August 1-0ctober 31, 2024
Completion of market analysis and development of

owners. (Notices will give instructions on how to appeal
values.)
• February 1-April 1, 2025

HYCO LAKE AQUATIC VEGETATION GRANT TECHNICAL CORRECTION
REQUEST
Presented by Assistant County Manager Brian Hart. He stated that in House Bill
259, Person County was awarded a special appropriation of $250K in nonrecurring funds
for the primary purpose of treating and removing native and noxious aquatic weeds in Hyco
Lake. He stated that there have been many conversations and meetings between County
staff, the Person-Caswell Lake Authority and other entities, and it has been determined that
the most appropriate course of action would be to submit a legislative technical correction
to have the Person-Caswell Lake Authority designated as the recipient of the funds. He
stated that Person-Caswell Lake Authority has provided a letter of support indicating that
they are willing to accept financial and reporting responsibilities associated with the grant.
A motion was made by Commissioner Puryear and carried 5-0 to authorize the
County Manager to request a Legislative Technical Correction to reallocate funding and
designate Person-Caswell Lake Authority as the recipient of the $250K grant.

MANAGER’S REPORT:
County Manager Katherine Cathey advised that the Board would be having a budget
work session to discuss the recommended budget on June 5, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. She stated
that the Person County Museum of History and Person County Business and Industrial
Center (PCBIC) will both be presenting requests for FY25.
COMMISSIONER REPORT/COMMENTS:
Vice Chairman Sims asked Assistant County Manager Brian Hart if he had followed
up with the DSS case involving Jose Tierrablanca. Hart advised that he had followed up and
has been in contact with the family and with DSS staff. Sims stated that he would like for
the County’s Planning & Zoning Department to look in to what ordinances may pertain to
drones, and what can be done to prevent someone from spying and invading one’s privacy.
He stated that drones have their place, where they have saved lives by searching for lost
children and people with health issues as well as aiding law enforcement to watch for illegal
activity or to follow an automobile trying to run from law enforcement. He stated that he
has no problem with those who fly drones for recreational purposes, however those who fly
for other purposes to harass and invade one’s privacy should not be tolerated nor allowed.
He stated that he attended RCS award’s night for seniors and handed out a scholarship. He
stated that he did a five-mile walk with the veteran’s fundraiser. He stated that he gave a
speech at the Memorial Service on Memorial Day.

Currie thanked the Board for the opportunity to present the FY24-25 Budget
Request for the Person County Museum of History. She stated that the museum continues
to look to the future, finding ways to encourage visitors and residents to engage in the
history of Person County She stated that this work is vital and could not happen without
the support of our local community and government. She stated that funds allocated by the
County Commissioners have allowed the museum to move forward in a way that they
would have been unable to do without additional financial support. She stated that the
museum appreciates the partnership and the recognition of the importance of this
organization for the community.
General Services Director Ray Foushee spoke in reference to money allotted in the
budget for County maintenance and repairs for the museum, as it is county-owned
property. He stated that the museum has a constant need for repairs and upgrades. He
stated that $30K is included in the current budget for maintenance and repairs.
County Manager Katherine Cathey went over previous years’ budget requests from
the museum. She stated that for FY24-25, the recommended budget amount is $20K for
the special appropriation, which is in addition to the $30K allocated for maintenance and
repairs.

BUDGET REQUEST
PCBIC President Phillip Allen provided background information on the PCBIC and
its history. He stated that PCBIC looks forward to the continued partnership with Person
County and to promoting and increasing economic development. He thanked the Board for
the opportunity to provide more detailed information relative to the FY24-25 budget
request. He turned the presentation over to PCBIC Vice President Scott McKinney.
McKinney stated that this is the first time that PCBIC has really engaged in this process
with the County, in terms of coming up with a formal budget request. He stated that for
many years, PCBIC had been utilizing a pool of funds that had been donated and granted to
them for supporting economic development. He stated that the proposed budget includes an
increase in PCBIC’s business park maintenance fees and that PCBIC wants to be self-
sustaining; therefore, they are increasing those fees to the tenants of the park. He stated that
the request submitted to the County Manager represents the bare minimum necessary to
keep this nonprofit organization functioning with the exception of one line item. He stated
that the line item titled as legal includes a place holder in the amount of $50K, which is for
anticipated expenses to be incurred for the County’s benefit as existing economic
development projects mature and entirely new projects spring to life, rather than known
expenses.
Commissioner Puryear expressed thanks to Allen and McKinney and the entire
PCBIC Board for their tireless commitment to our community and the future economic
growth of Person County. Chairman Powell expressed thanks to Allen and McKinney for
their presentation and stated the need for PCBIC and EDC to be separated. Vice Chairman
Sims expressed thanks to the PCBIC and for what they do for Person County. He stated the
need for self-sufficiency. McKinney stated that the members of PCBIC are working towards
becoming self-sufficient and have made mention of future fundraising ideas to accomplish
self-sufficiency.
County Manager Cathey advised the Board that for the FY24-25, $20K has been
allocated for PCBIC and funded through the Economic Catalyst fund. Commissioner
Puryear stated that he is fully supportive of the amount that PCBIC requested in the amount
of $62,800. Chairman Powell stated that he is not supportive of the full amount requested
by PCBIC; he would support $25K less than the requested amount, which is $37,800.
A motion was made by Commissioner Puryear to fully fund the PCBIC with the
additional $42,800, for a total of $62,800 for FY24-25. A substitute motion was made by
Chairman Powell to fund $25K less than the $42,800, which is $17,800, for a total of
$37,800 for FY24-25 to be allocated to PCBIC. The substitute motion failed to carry 1-4,
with Chairman Powell recorded as in favor of the motion. Commissioner Puryear’s motion
was not needed due to the outcome of the substitute motion.

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RECOMMENDED BUDGET
Commissioner Puryear stated that in the past there has been some unanticipated
revenues that show up right at budget session and asked finance if there were any
unanticipated revenues. Finance Director Amy Wehrenberg stated that she is not aware of
any at this time. Puryear stated that he is not in favor of a three-cent property tax increase.
He stated that he does support the two requests that were presented today. He stated he
hopes by the end of this budget work session, that the Board will figure out a solution to
reduce the proposed tax increase and fund these projects. He asked Tax Administrator
Russell Jones to speak in reference to the collection rate and property taxes. Jones stated
that the collection rate as of today, was at 97.13%. He stated that the County’s best
collection rate ever was in 1997 at 99.5%, and again in 2021 it was at 98.63%. He stated
that with GKN leaving, he estimates that $35-$38M in equipment being gone for next year’s
budget, which would equate to a loss in tax revenue of roughly $300K. He stated the
building will still be there.
Commissioner Puryear asked finance if he could get a dollar amount from the fund
balance over the 30% threshold. Wehrenberg stated that the total fund balance as of this date
is $34,431,093.32, and FY23 was $45,319,725.36. Cathey stated that Wehrenberg had
projected the year-end balance at the time of the budget retreat, and there was a rough
projection of ending the year at the 30% mark, but now some things have changed since that
time, and we cannot be certain that it is going to be above 25%. She stated that the budget
was constructed with an approach for the County to be able to maintain the 25% fund
balance going into next year.
Vice Chairman Sims had questions related to the Detention Center line item Jail
Provisions and EMS line item Contract Services. Cathey stated that the request for the
Detention Center is for a one-time expenditure for mattresses and storage boxes, not
recurring every year, and to be replaced as needed, and this year is the needed replacement.
Director of Emergency Services Thomas Schwalenberg explained that the contract for EMS
would be a 10-year contract and the equipment would be leased. He stated that the
equipment will aid in patient transport.
Commissioner Puryear suggested that based on Jones estimating at least a minimum
of 30% of real property increase, that he is proposing that the County take the three-cent tax
rate increase of $1,657,950.00 from the general fund along with the $20K for the Museum,
and the Board could discuss how they want to allocate the money for PCBIC from the
Economic Catalyst fund. Wehrenberg stated that she would look over the budget and see if
there is anything that she can bring forward to help fill the gap rather than appropriate fund
balance.

The Board of Commissioners for the County of Person, North Carolina, met in
recessed session on Monday, June 10, 2024 at 9:00 a.m.in the Commissioners’ Boardroom
215 in the Person County Office Building located at 304 S. Morgan Street, Roxboro, NC.
Chairman Powell called the recessed meeting to order.
County Manager Katherine Cathey advised that we are back in session today to
discuss adjustments to the Manager’s recommended budget. She stated that the direction
that was provided by the Board at the last budget work session was to go back and look at
ways to remove the three-cent tax increase and to report back to the Board with suggestions
on how that may be done, and fund the recommended budget.
She provided the Board with the following spreadsheet:

Cathey explained the spreadsheet and advised that the three-cent tax increase has
been removed, which indicates a decrease in revenues of $1.52M. She stated that after
adjusting the property tax collection rate from 97.5% to 98%, that added in $187,729 in
revenues. She stated that the three-cent DMV tax revenue projections were removed, which
was a decrease of $103,449. She stated that included on the spreadsheet is a transfer from
the Capital Investment Fund (CIF) for the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) project for the
Person County Office Building (PCOB) HVAC system of $1M back to the General Fund.
She stated that this is a fund balance allocation, as in this year’s budget, the County
advanced $1M through a Budget Amendment that was done within the past couple of
months. She stated that this was done so the County can go forward with the purchase of
the equipment needed for this CIP project in the new fiscal year. She stated that the $1M is
in the budget for next year, and the intent was for it to go back in to the fund balance to
repay what was advanced this fiscal year. She stated that is available to reallocate. She stated
that the $455,740 is a transfer from the Airport Project Construction Fund. She stated that
this funding is a receipt from grant funding, and can cover some of those expenses incurred
from the new Corporate Hangar at the Airport, as funds were advanced from the General
Fund to pay for this project. She stated that $20K was added to the General Fund to fully
fund the special appropriation for the Museum. She stated that this is County staff’s
suggested actions to take for balancing the General Fund Budget. She stated that under
Other Funds, the Fire tax collection rate was increased from 97.5% to 98%, which results
in an additional $11,125 in revenues. She stated that there is an increase to the unallocated
line item within the fire tax district fund by the same amount. She stated that in order to
fully fund PCBIC’s request for their special appropriation for FY25, the fund balance
appropriation has been increased within the Economic Catalyst Fund by $42,800. She stated
that the other adjustment, reduction in the E-911 Telephone Fund, would be $12,394 less
than anticipated, as the County received notice from the E-911 Board at the State level. She
stated that the County has plenty of funding in the 911 Telephone Fund Balance to make up
that difference.
Commissioner Puryear stated that he had concerns in reference to EMS and the
Stryker equipment lease. He asked if Stryker was the only one to respond to the RFP. Cathey
advised no RFP was done, as the County already has Stryker equipment, which is the
majority of the equipment used. She stated that the lease is a way to transition the current
equipment into the updated method of funding it. She stated that in the past, the County has
used Operating Funds and Debt Financing when needed to purchase new equipment for
EMS. Chairman Powell asked about the cost of implementing the lease with Stryker. Cathey
replied the amount is $366K, which is a locked in amount, and recurring for ten years.
Powell inquired about ARP money, and if the equipment could be purchased using that
money. Cathey stated that the ARP money could be utilized and allocated at the Board’s
discretion. Vice Chairman Sims requested to see a copy of the Stryker Equipment Lease.
Cathey sated that when the Stryker lease is removed, staff will need to reduce either the
transfer from the CIF, or the transfer from the Airport Project Construction Fund. She stated
that her suggestion is to reduce the transfer from the Airport Project Construction Fund.

A motion was made by Commissioner Puryear and carried 5-0 for staff to prepare
a Budget Ordinance, reflecting the changes, minus the EMS Contract with Stryker, to be
decided by the Board of Commissioners at a later date, and to reduce the transfer from the
Airport Project Construction Fund.
Cathey stated that a Budget Ordinance will be prepared by staff for approval by the
Board on the June 17, 2024 scheduled meeting. She stated that staff will prepare a
presentation for the Board on the Stryker lease, to be presented to the Board at the June 17,
2024 or July 15, 2024 meeting.

ARTICLE II. POSITION CLASSIFICATION PLAN
Amended 6/19/2023; Effective 6/30/2023
Section 1. Purpose.
The position classification plan provides a complete inventory of all authorized and permanent positions
in the County service, and an accurate description and specification for each class of employment. The
plan standardizes job titles, each of which is indicative of a definite range of duties and responsibilities.
All positions covered by the personnel policy are to be classified according to the assigned duties,
responsibilities, qualifications needed, and other required factors. In order to ensure its continuing value
as a personnel management tool, the positions classification plan will be maintained to reflect the current
work assignments and other conditions and requirements which are factors in proper classification and
allocation of regular positions.
Positions in the Department of Public Health will be classified by the NC Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) in compliance with the rules and regulations under the State Human Resources Act.
Section 2. Composition of the Position Classification Plan
The classification plan shall consist of:
a)A grouping of positions in classes which are approximately equal in difficulty and
responsibility which call for the same general qualifications, and which can be equitably
compensated within the same range of pay under similar working conditions;
b)class titles descriptive of the work of the class;
c)written specifications for each class of positions; and
d)an allocation list showing the class title of each position in the classified service.
Section 3. Use of the Position Classification Plan
The classification plan is to be used:
a)as a guide in recruiting and examining applicants for employment;
b)in determining lines of promotion and in developing employee training programs;
c)in determining salary to be paid for various types of work;
d)in determining personnel service items in departmental budgets; and
e)in providing uniform job terminology.
102
14
Section 4. Administration of the Position Classification Plan
The County Manager, assisted by the Human Resources Director, shall allocate each position covered
by the classification plan to its appropriate class, and shall be responsible for the administration of the
position classification plan. The Human Resources Director shall periodically review portions of the
classification plan and recommend revisions to the County Manager to ensure that classifications
accurately reflect current job duties and responsibilities. The Human Resources Director shall also
periodically review the entire classification plan and, when needed, recommend major changes to the
County Manager. For Employees subject to the State Human Resources Act, both the Person County
Classification Plan, and the Office of State Human Resources Classification Plan should be considered.
Section 5. Authorization of New Positions and the Position Classification Plan
New positions shall be established upon recommendation of the County Manager and approval of the
Board of Commissioners. New positions shall be recommended to the Board of Commissioners with a
recommended class title. The position classification plan, along with any new positions or classifications
shall be approved by the Board of Commissioners and on file with the Human Resources Director. A
copy of the position classification plan will be posted on the County website under the Human Resources
Department for review by employees and the public.
Section 6. Request for Reclassification

the reclassification, and recommend any necessary changes to maintain a fair and accurate classification
plan, to the County Manager. The decision of the County Manager is final.
103
15
ARTICLE III. THE PAY PLAN
Amended 6/19/2023; Effective 6/30/2023
Section 1. Definition
The pay plan includes the salary schedule and the assignment of classes to salary grades and
ranges adopted by the Board of Commissioners. The salary schedule may consist of a minimum,
midpoint, and maximum rates of pay for each job classification approved by the Board of
Commissioners. Salary increases within the pay range shall be based on criteria established by
the County Manager and approved by the Board of Commissioners.
In order to ensure proper pay, time worked must be entered on the employee’s timesheet pursuant
to current County practices, which currently require time entry in quarter hour increments. Please
note that some employees, particularly those subject to the Department of Transportation
Guidelines, may have different timekeeping requirements.
Section 2. Administration and Maintenance
The County Manager shall be responsible for the administration and maintenance of the pay plan.
All employees covered by the pay plan shall be paid at a rate within the salary range established
for the respective position classification, except for employees in trainee status or employees
whose existing salaries are above the established maximum rate following transition to a new pay
plan.
The pay plan is intended to provide equitable compensation for all positions, reflecting differences
in the duties and responsibilities, the comparable rates of pay for positions in public employment
in the area, changes in the cost of living, the financial conditions of the County, and other factors.
To this end, from time to time the County Manager, assisted by the Human Resources Director,
shall make comparative studies of all factors affecting the level of salary ranges and may make
minor adjustments in the allocation of positions to salary grades. When major adjustments
encompassing numerous positions are needed, or when a general adjustment is needed to the
pay plan, the County Manager shall recommend such changes in salary ranges as appear to be
warranted to the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners shall adopt the salary
schedule and assignment of job classes to salary grades, including any minor adjustments made
by the County Manager during the previous budget year, annually as part of the budget process.
The County Manager may approve in-range adjustments to employee salaries when necessary
to accommodate inequities, special performance, achievements, retention or other issues. The
Department Head will submit documentation to the Human Resources Director explaining the
reason for requesting an in-range adjustment. The Human Resources Director will make a
recommendation to the County Manager.
104
16
Section 3. Starting Salaries
In order to establish the pay rate for new hires (or rehires), the following criteria will be used to
promote fairness and equity in pay.
a)The starting salary for a new employee who meets the minimum qualifications for the
position is typically the minimum of the salary range to which the job classification is
assigned.
b)The new hire starting salary for employees (or re-hires) may consider directly relevant
experience and/or experience that can be verified by the Human Resources Department.
Employees who have left the County and have been officially terminated will be re-hired
using this criteria and will not be rehired at the previous salary. Re-hires who have left the
County’s employ will be considered using the same criteria as new hires.
c)Internal Equity is an equally important consideration in filling a vacant position. Before a
salary offer is made, Human Resources will also consider the current salaries, level of
education, relevant licenses/certifications and length of service in the same/similar job
class or classes of current incumbents. It is the policy of the County to make every effort
to avoid inverted salary relationships which are created by bringing in newly hired
employees at a salary that exceeds the current salaries of comparably placed existing
employees in the same/similar job class.
d)The Human Resources Department may consider a higher salary offer if the open position
is determined to be a “hard to fill” position. “Hard to fill” positions will be determined by
the Human Resources Department and will be based on the length of time the position
has remained unfilled, the difficulty to recruit, the “mission critical” nature of the work and
the market conditions of the position, at the time of a vacancy.
e)The salary range is typically considered the span in salary between the minimum of the
range and the midpoint for most positions. For Directors or Assistant Director level
positions, the qualifications of the applicant and/or the needs of the County should include
the discretion to hire anywhere within the range. However, consideration should still be
given to existing salaries of other employees who are in directly comparable leadership
positions.
Elected officials, i.e. the Sheriff and Register of Deeds, shall be paid upon initial election or
appointment, at the starting salary for the office. The Board of Commissioners may adjust the
salary of the elected official by considering the years of service, performance and related
experience of the person.
Pay for part-time or temporary status will be based on the applicable hourly rate for the position.
105
17
Section 4. Maximum of the Range
Ranges are established to reflect the market value of a given job profile and not an incumbent.
Once an employee reaches the maximum of his/her assigned range, the salary is frozen, and the
employee is not eligible for any additional compensation unless there is a range movement that
would result in a higher maximum.
Section 5. Trainee Designation and Provisions
Applicants being considered for employment or County employees who do not meet all of the
requirements for the position for which they are being considered may be hired, promoted,
demoted, or transferred by the County Manager to a "trainee" status or under the State Human
Resources Act job classes as a "Work Against.” In such cases, a plan for training and meeting
the minimum qualification for the job classification, including a time schedule, must be prepared by
the supervisor. An employee shall remain at the trainee or "Work Against" salary level until the
Department Head certifies that the employee is qualified to assume full responsibilities of the
position and the County Manager approves the certifications. The Department Head shall review
the progress of each employee in a trainee or "Work Against" status every six months or more
frequently as necessary to determine when the employee is qualified to assume full
responsibilities of the position. "Trainee" salaries may be one to two grades below the minimum
rate established for the position for which the person is being trained. Assignment two grades
below is appropriate when the traineeship is expected to last two years. Assignment one grade
below is appropriate when traineeship is expected to last one year. (Note: Positions subject to the
State Human Resources Act may be assigned no more than two grades below for trainee
purposes.) The actual assignment should be reviewed and approved by the Human Resources
Director. A new employee designated as "trainee" appointment shall be in a probationary status
until requirements for the full job class are met.
If the training is not successfully completed as planned, the employee shall be transferred,
demoted, or dismissed. If the training is successfully completed, the employee shall be paid at
least at the minimum rate established for the job class.
Section 6. Education and Certification Increase
To encourage growth and promote a learning atmosphere in local government, a full-time
employee of Person County Government may be eligible to receive a 1.5% salary increase for an
advanced certification or a 2.5% salary increase for a higher level per education or advanced
certification obtained if certain criteria are met.
Education is defined as graduation from a community college or university where an individual
may receive an associate, bachelor’s, graduate, doctorate or professional degree.
A certification is an official document acknowledging that an individual has successfully passed a
professional class or training that has provided them with knowledge, experience and skills to
perform certain job tasks. Most certifications that pertain to this policy will include an individual
attending training for a considerable number of hours and/or passing an exam in order to receive
the certification.
106
18
Requests for certification or education approvals should be made before the fiscal year in which the
certificate or diploma is attained to ensure accurate budgeting for the associated salary increase.
The following criteria will be applied when an employee has requested an increase for additional
education or certification:
The certification or accreditation will be earned in their professional field furthering their ability
to perform the duties and responsibilities of their position. Approval from the Department
Head, Human Resources Director and County Manager may also be made for an employee
who is seeking a higher level of education to pursue a promotion within County services.
An education or certification increase will only be awarded during the fiscal year in which it
was obtained.
The County will pay for one certification school and up to two attempts at an exam for a single
certification level. Exceptions may be made if deemed appropriate by the County Manager.
College courses will usually be taken outside of regular work hours. Courses during work hours
are typically not permitted but may be considered by the County Manager on a case by case
basis if work time can be made-up with minor schedule adjustments. Employees will not be
paid for time spent in classes. Employees may be reimbursed for tuition, fees, laboratory fees,
and student fees up to a certain amount as outlined in the Personnel Policy, Article VI.
Employee Benefits, Section 10.
Pay increases for certifications should be submitted in a timely manner. The effective date of
the pay increase will be consistent with the next full pay period. There may be instances where
the delay is from a third party and no fault of the employee or supervisor. Certification
increases are not intended to be re-applied for position status change that includes but is
not limited to promotions, transfers, reclassifications, or demotions. No increases will be
awarded retroactively for certifications obtained prior to the adoption of this policy.
Re-certifications will not eligible for an increase, but the County may pay for the renewal of
the required certification.
If the certification has been suspended, lapsed or is no longer being utilized, the pay
incentive may be removed.
If the employee has an active performance improvement plan due to not meeting work
standards, they will not be approved for a certification increase until the employee has
successfully resolved performance issues. The increase will not be retroactive but may be
effective the first day the employee has successfully completed the performance
improvement plan.
The employee may not receive more than two education or certification increases per fiscal
year.
A salary increase will not typically be awarded if the certification is included as a
requirement on the job description or formal acceptance letter of employment. Special
circumstances may be considered if deemed appropriate by the County Manager and
Human Resources Director.
107
19
Section 7. Pay Range Increases
Upward movement within the established salary range for an employee is not automatic but rather
based upon specific criteria. Procedures for determining performance levels and performance
pay increases shall be established in procedures approved by the County Manager.
Section 8. Performance Review and Development System (separate policy)
The purpose is to establish and maintain a performance review and development system that
contributes to the organization achieving its mission and goals and focuses on continuous
performance improvement and recognition for all employees of the County. Reviews will
encompass one year and be conducted on or before the anniversary date of the employee’s initial
hire or rehire. Pay for performance or merit may vary or be funded at the discretion of the Board
of Commissioners. Grant funded positions may receive merit only if funds are available from the
grant program.
Section 9. Salary Effect of Promotions, Demotions, Transfers, and Reclassifications
Promotions. When an employee is promoted, as a result of a job change or job progression, to
a higher pay grade position, the salary placement within the new pay grade shall be determined
along with the above criteria as follows: apply a 5% increase to the previous salary for promotions
of one pay grade, and an additional 2.5% for each additional pay grade up to a maximum of 15%.
The resulting pay will be no less than the minimum of the new pay grade and no less than a 5%
salary increase, but not more than the maximum salary of the assigned pay grade. Any increase
of more than 5% requires documentation by the department or agency and a supporting
recommendation from the Human Resources Director. The County Manager will review the
documentation for approval. The effective date of the pay increase will be consistent with the next
full pay period.
The amount of the salary adjustment should also include consideration for the following:
a)the employee’s related education, training, and experience;
b)the nature and magnitude of the change in jobs;
c)budget availability;
d)consistency with similar situations in the past;
e)internal equity within the work unit; and
f)other relevant issues.
Employee (Employees subject to the State Human Resources Act are exempt) will serve a nine-
month probationary period.
There may be times when the uniqueness of an individual job and level or necessary skills
required by the County, and not just possessed by the incumbent, may require a higher salary
108
20
schedule placement than stipulated in this section. Under such circumstances, the County
Manager may approve a higher salary placement within the assigned pay grade.
Cost of living (or market adjustment), and other in-range increases cannot take the place of a
promotional increase. The position of the employee’s adjusted salary within the new salary range
shall not exceed the position of the employee’s salary in the current range.
Demotion or Voluntary Reassignment. Demotion or reassignment is a change in status
resulting from an assignment to a position in a lower salary grade. If the change results from a
disciplinary action, the action is considered a demotion. If the change results from a mutual
agreement between the employee and employer, the action is considered a voluntary
reassignment.
The adjusted salary of the employee shall be within the range of the lower classification based on
salary grade with consideration of internal equity, decreased workload and responsibility level.
Lateral Transfers. A lateral transfer occurs when an employee is transferred from one job class
to another in the same pay grade. The salary will remain the same and employee must possess
the minimum qualifications for the new position.
Reclassifications. When a job has been reclassified to a higher pay grade, the employee’s
salary shall increase at least 5% but not exceed the maximum salary of the new pay grade.
If the reclassification results in an upgrade of one pay grade, the employee’s pay will be moved
upward by 5%. An upgrade of two or more pay grades will increase the employee’s pay by an
additional 2.5% for each additional pay grade, up to a maximum of 15%. Any increase of more
than 5% would require documentation by the department or agency and a supporting
recommendation from Human Resources Director. The County Manager will review the
documentation for approval.
For general reclassifications completed as a result of an internal or external compensation study,
or as a result of a normal budget process review, a pay increase for an employee who has been
in their position since on or before the first day of the fiscal year, will have an effective date of the
first day of the fiscal year, or the effective date of implementation as approved by the Board of
Commissioners.
Otherwise, for an individual reclassification, done outside the normal budget cycle, the effective
date of the pay increase will be consistent with the next full pay period.
Reclassification or changes in pay grade, whether resulting from an internal or external
compensation study or individual change in pay grade, shall not be retroactive with respect to
calculating the new salary.
When a job has been reclassified to a lower pay grade, the affected employee(s) shall have their
pay grade adjusted accordingly. The effective date will be the day following approval and the
change will be reflected in the next full pay period. If, after the pay grade adjustment, the
employee(s) salary is greater than the maximum salary of the new pay range, the employee will
continue to be paid at the higher rate of pay, the salary would be “frozen” and the employee is
109
21
typically ineligible for any pay adjustment until the range “catches up” with the salary and allows
for movement.
Section 10. Salary Effect of Salary Range Revisions
When a class of positions is assigned to a higher salary range as a result of labor market
conditions (outside of a total county pay study), employees will be placed at minimum of pay grade
and equity of old grade will be considered during the reclassification. An implementation process
will be recommended by the Human Resources Director and approved by the County Manager.
Budgetary funding will also be considered. When a class of positions is assigned to a lower salary
range, the salaries of employees in that class will remain unchanged. If this assignment to a lower
salary range results in an employee being paid at a rate above the maximum established for the
new class, the salary of that employee shall be maintained at that level until such time as the
employee's salary range is increased above the employee's current salary.
Section 11. Temporary or Permanent Additional Job Duties Assigned
At times, employees may be temporarily assigned job duties that are outside of their normal job
requirements. Consideration for extra pay will be given if the employee’s assignment of extra
duties is from a higher grade classification.
Permanent additional job duties that are assigned will result in a re-evaluation of the position to
determine if the position should be assigned a higher grade classification.
For temporary and permanent additional job duties, department heads should submit
documentation to the Human Resources Director. The Human Resources Director will review
and make a recommendation to the County Manager.
Section 12. Transition to a New Salary Plan
The following principles shall govern the transition to a new salary plan:
a)No employee shall receive a salary reduction as a result of the transition to a new salary plan.
b)All employees being paid at a rate lower than the minimum rate established for their respective
classes shall have their salaries raised to the new minimum for their classes. A trainee, or
employee in a “Work Against” status will remain in their same relative pay status in the new salary
grade assigned.
c)All employees being paid at a rate above the minimum and below the maximum are considered
as being paid at a competitive rate for the job class and may receive any approved salary plan
implementation increases as authorized by the Board of Commissioners
d)All employees being paid at a rate above the maximum rate established for their respective
classes shall be maintained at that salary level with no increase in base pay until such time as
the employees' salary range is increased above the employees' current salary. This means no
performance/merit pay increases or market adjustment/cost of living increases or any other
increases to the base pay of the employee until the employee is within the appropriate salary
range.
110
22
Section 13. Effective Date for Pay Changes
The effective date of the pay changes will be consistent with the next full pay period.
Section 14. Pay for “Acting” or Temporary Assignments in a Higher-Level Classification
(Interim duties)
“Acting” or temporary assignment(s) occurs when the County recognizes a critical job assignment
need that must be met and cannot be met through the normal recruitment process. This can occur
when an unexpected vacancy occurs; when a mission critical job cannot be filled in a timely
fashion; or when a mission objective changes abruptly and requires an immediate action.
Temporary or “acting” assignment(s) would be anticipated to last more than 30 days, but less than
6 months. A temporary or “acting” assignment is to fill a vacancy and not to assume the duties of
another employee who is on approved leave, i.e. vacation, holiday, medical, or other short-term
absence(s).
If the position assigned is lower in pay grade (or substantially equivalent pay range) this would
not result in a lower salary for the assigned employee even if the employee’s salary exceeded the
maximum of the new pay range.
If the position extends beyond 30 days, but less than 6 months, there should be a 5% “temporary
assignment” pay adjustment for the first pay grade and 2.5% for each additional pay grade to a
maximum of 15% or the minimum of the grade, whichever is higher. The employee’s salary shall
not exceed the maximum of the assigned range. Internal equity and expectation of fulfilling the
job requirements will be taken into consideration when establishing the temporary assignment
pay. Employees receiving temporary assignment pay shall sign an agreement acknowledging the
understanding that they are receiving “Temporary Assignment Pay” and also acknowledging that
when the temporary assignment ends, the “assignment pay” will also end.
Section 15. Overtime Pay Provisions
Employees of the County can be requested and may be required to work overtime hours as
necessitated by the needs of the County and determined by the supervisor. All overtime work
must be authorized in advance.
Supervisors shall attempt to arrange employee work and schedules so as to accomplish the
required work within the standard workweek and without incurring overtime.
To the extent required, the County will comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The
County Manager/designee shall determine which jobs are "Non-Exempt" and are therefore
subject to the Act in areas such as hours of work and work periods, rates of overtime
compensation, and other provisions.
Non-Exempt Employees: Non-exempt employees will be paid at a straight time rate for hours up
to the FLSA established limit for their position (usually 40 hours in a 7-day period or alternative
FLSA approved full time schedule). Employees in law enforcement job classes may earn overtime
based on a 28-day time period. Hours worked beyond the FLSA established limit will be
111
23
compensated in compensatory time or overtime pay at the appropriate overtime rate. In
determining eligibility for overtime in a work period, only hours actually worked shall be
considered; in no event will vacation, sick leave, or holidays be included in the computation of
hours worked for FLSA purposes.
Whenever practicable, departments will schedule time off on an hour-for-hour basis within the
applicable work period for non-exempt employees, instead of paying overtime. When time off
within the work period cannot be granted, overtime worked will be given in the form of
compensatory time off or paid in accordance with the FLSA. The County retains the right to
determine whether to compensate overtime as pay or as compensatory time off.
In the event the Governor declares a state of emergency where employees would be required to
work long and continuous hours, the County Manager may approve compensation at a rate up to
double time for those hours worked and/or grant time off with pay for rest and recuperation to
ensure safe working conditions.
Exempt employees: Employees in positions determined to be "exempt" from the FLSA (for
example, as Executive, Administrative, or Professional staff) will not receive pay for hours worked
in excess of their normal work periods. These employees may be granted compensatory leave
by their supervisor where the convenience of the department allows and in accordance with
procedures established by the County Manager. Such compensatory time is not guaranteed to
be taken and ends without compensation upon separation from the organization.
The County intends to make deductions from the pay of exempt employees for authorized reasons
and prohibits improper pay deductions. Exempt employees who wish to question deductions they
believe to be improper may use the County’s Grievance procedure, as explained in this policy. If
the deduction is found to be improper the County will reimburse the employee for lost pay.
Compensatory Time Off.
Compensatory time off for overtime hours worked may be provided in lieu of immediate overtime
pay in cash in accordance with appropriate current FLSA rules, at the option of the County
Manager, for covered non-exempt employees. Unless the law requires otherwise, compensatory
time shall be exhausted before annual leave is used.
Covered non-exempt employees may be granted compensatory time for hours worked in excess
of 40 in any one work week, at a rate of one and one-half hours for each hour of work in excess
of 40 hours in any one work week, subject to the following provisions:
-The maximum compensatory time which may be accrued by any affected employee shall
be eighty (80) hours. An employee who has accrued the maximum number of
compensatory hours shall be paid overtime compensation for any additional overtime
hours of work.
-Upon request by Employee to use accrued compensatory time, the Employer shall allow
Employee to use said time off within a reasonable period after the request, so long as
such use does not unduly disrupt the operations of Employer. This determination shall be
based on the facts and circumstances of each individual case. Compensatory time must
112
24
be used within 26 pay periods (approximately 13 months) from the pay period in which
they earned it, otherwise, the employee shall be paid overtime compensation for any
additional overtime hours of work.
-Upon termination of employment for any reason, Employee shall be paid for accrued
compensatory time at a rate of compensation equal to: the average regular rate received
by Employee during the last three years of the Employee’s employment, or the final regular
rate received by the Employee, whichever amount is greater.
The County, at its option, shall be entitled to pay Employee for any portion of accrued
compensatory time. If Employer elects to make such election, payment shall be based
upon Employee’s rate of earnings at the time said payment is made.
-Any compensatory time employees may have accumulated up to the effective date of this
policy will remain in place and may be used pursuant federal and state wage laws. Once
employees use any accumulated compensatory time over eighty (80) hours, they will then
be subject to the maximum accrual of eighty (80) hours of compensatory time and will be
paid overtime pursuant to this policy. The County’s policy is stricter than the FLSA
provisions that allow non-exempt employees to accumulate up to 240 hours of
compensatory time.
-Nonexempt employees separating from employment shall be paid for their compensatory
time balances.
Section 16. On-Call and Call-Back Compensation
The County provides continuous twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week service to its
citizens. Therefore, it is necessary for certain employees to respond to any reasonable request
for duty at any hour of the day or night. One of the conditions of employment with the County is
the acceptance of a share of the responsibility for continuous service in accordance with the
nature of each job. If an employee fails to respond to reasonable calls, either special or routine,
the employee may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal by the Appointing
or Hiring Authority. Therefore, the County provides compensation for employees who are
required to be on-call. Compensation for time spent while on-call and for time spent when actually
called back to work shall be determined according to the following:
On-call. On-call time consists of scheduled non-work hours in excess of an employee’s standard
work period when an employee is required to be available to be called back to work on short
notice if the need arises. Each department may have more specific rules in light of the type of on-
call needs. However, generally speaking, on-call time will not be over-used (unless volunteered)
for any employee and will not be over-restrictive such that it interferes substantially with the
personal use of an employee’s time out-side of work. The general rule is that an on-call employee
should be able to respond to a call within a one-hour time frame. On-call schedules must be
approved by the Department Head. The Human Resources Office shall maintain a list of
employees who are approved for on-call compensation arrangements.
Non-exempt employees will be compensated for the inconvenience of on-call duty. Employees
required to be on “on-call” duty will be compensated $2.00 per hour for on-call time they serve
until they are called back to work or until the on-call time has expired. The on-call pay and call-
back pay shall not overlap. Employees will receive their regular rate of pay for all time the
113
25
employee is “called-back” to work while on-call, unless the hours worked otherwise qualify for
overtime pay. Reciprocal time in exchange for working while on-call (or to minimize overtime) is
only allowed when such time is within the time off during the same work-week.
Call-back. Call-back time consists of actual time spent when called back to work to handle a
requested or emergency situation, regardless of whether the person is “on-call.” "Call-back"
provisions do not apply to previously scheduled overtime work (scheduled one or more days in
advance). Exempt employees will not be paid for being called back to work outside of normal
working hours. Non-exempt employees will receive their regular rate of pay for all time worked
while on-call, unless the hours worked otherwise qualify for overtime pay. The on-call stipend
of $2.00 per hour will cease once an employee has been called back to work. Reciprocal time in
exchange for working while on-call (or to minimize overtime) is only allowed when such time is
within the time off during the same work-week.
Time Keeping. In the event a non-exempt employee is needed to respond to a call while on-call,
or for call-back time, the employee must log all time beginning with the drive to the specific location
requested and ending with the time of returning home from the on-call location. Non-exempt
employees are guaranteed a minimum of 15 minutes call-back pay for any business-related
telephone calls, remote-in tasks, or text messages that occur while being on-call, as well as 2
hours call-back pay if travel is required as part of the call-back. If call-back occurs, the employee
will need to report any guaranteed time not worked in a separate pay code in the County’s time
keeping system in minimum quarter hour increments as defined in Article III, Section 1.
Guaranteed time that is not actually worked is not considering compensable time and is therefore
not subject to overtime pay. However, guaranteed time that is actually worked is considered
compensable time and is subject to overtime pay if other overtime requirements are met. Total
call-back time should not exceed 2 hours unless the time actually worked exceeds two hours, in
which event the employee is not entitled to any compensation beyond payment for the time
actually worked. In other words, if the employee actually works 2 hours or more, all time should
be entered as worked, compensable time. The employee is responsible for accurately logging
his or her time and turning it in to a Department Head and/or Human Resources as not all
employees have the ability to “clock in” remotely. Please note that certain departments may have
more specific rules based on the type of work completed.
Section 17. Payroll Schedule and Deductions
The payroll schedule shall be established by the County Manager and shall be administered by
the Finance Department. Each employee is responsible for entering their own time in the County’s
time keeping system based on the payroll schedule. Deductions shall be made from each
employee's salary, as required by law. Additional deductions may be made upon the request of
the employee on determination by the County Manager as to capability of payroll equipment and
appropriateness of the deduction.
Section 18. Hourly Rate of Pay for Full-time, Part- time and Temporary Employees and
for Work Weeks with Varying Hours
Employees working in a Part-time or temporary capacity with the same duties as Full-time
employees will work at a rate in the same salary range as the Full-time employees. The hourly
rate for employees working other than 40 hours per week, such as employees working 37.5 hours
114
26
per week and law enforcement officers working an average 42 hours per week, will be determined
by dividing the average number of hours scheduled per year into the annual salary established
for the position.
Section 19. Longevity Pay
Full-time employees and recurring part-time employees of the County are compensated for continuous
employment with the County by payment of a longevity supplement based on continuous years of
service as of November 1st of each year. Full-time Employees and recurring part-time employees
must be in active status as of November 1 of the applicable year in order to receive longevity pay.
Grant-funded positions may receive longevity pay, if funds are available from the grant program.
Longevity amounts shall be as follows:
Years of Service Amount
5 years, but less than 10 years 1%of annual salary
10 years, but less than 15 years 2% of annual salary
15 years, but less than 20 years 3.25% of annual salary
20 years, but less than 25 years 4.5% of annual salary
25 years or more 5.75% of annual salary
Years of Service Percentage of Annual Salary
1 year, but less than 5 years .50%
5 years, but less than 10 years 1%
10 years, but less than 15 years 2%
15 years, but less than 20 years 3.25%
20 years, but less than 25 years 4.5%
25 year or more 5.75%
Longevity pay will be issued on the first regular pay period closest to the Thanksgiving Holiday or
as designated by the County Manager. The longevity pay benefit is a form of current
compensation that may be changed or eliminated at any time at the sole discretion of the Board
of Commissioners. The funding will be allocated on an annual basis during the budget adoption
process.

ARTICLE IV. RECRUITMENT AND EMPLOYMENT
Section 1. Equal Employment Opportunity Policy
It is the policy of the County to foster, maintain and promote equal employment opportunity. The
County shall select employees on the basis of the applicant's qualifications for the job and award
them, with respect to compensation and opportunity for training and advancement, including
upgrading and promotion, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin,, qualified
disability, marital status, age, genetic information (including family medical history), marital status,
political affiliation, sexual orientation, status as parent, labor organization affiliation or non-affiliation,
or any other non-merit-based factor. Applicants with disabilities shall be given equal consideration
with other applicants for positions in which their disabilities do not represent an unreasonable barrier
to satisfactory performance of duties.
Section 2. Implementation of Equal Employment Opportunity Policy
All personnel responsible for recruitment and employment will continue to review regularly the
implementation of this policy and relevant practices to assure that equal employment opportunity
based on reasonable, job-related job requirements is being actively observed to the end that no
employee or applicant for employment shall suffer discrimination because of race, color, religion,
sex, national origin, qualified disability, marital status, age, genetic information (including family
medical history), marital status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, status as parent, labor
organization affiliation or non-affiliation, or any other non-merit-based factor. Notices with regard to
equal employment matters will be posted in conspicuous places on County premises in places
where notices are customarily posted.
Section 3. Recruitment, Selection and Appointment
Recruitment Sources. When position vacancies occur, the Human Resources Director shall
publicize these opportunities for employment, including applicable salary information and
employment qualifications. Information on job openings and hiring practices will be published in local
and/or other news media as necessary to inform the community and create a quality and diverse
pool of applicants. In addition, notice of vacancies shall be posted at designated conspicuous sites
within departments. Individuals shall be recruited from a geographic area as wide as necessary and
for a period of time sufficient to ensure that well-qualified applicants are obtained for County service.
In rare situations because of emergency conditions, high turnover, or other generally unavoidable
circumstances, the County, upon approval of the County Manager, may hire or promote without
advertising jobs. When hiring under these circumstances, however, the County shall continue to adhere
to the merit principles established in this Personnel Policy.
Job Advertisements. Employment advertisements shall contain assurances of equal employment
opportunity and shall comply with Federal and State statutes. Each applicant is notified of E-verify
participation.
Application for Employment. All persons expressing interest in employment with the County shall
be given the opportunity to file an application for employment for positions which are currently
being recruited.
Selection. Department heads, with the assistance of the Human Resources Director, shall make
116
28
such investigations and conduct such examinations as necessary to assess accurately the
knowledge, skills, and experience qualifications required for the position. All selection devices
administered by the County shall be valid measures of job performance. Final candidates for
positions may be subject to a criminal background check, and if the position requires, a pre-
employment drug test. Pre-employment job function/fitness tests are required for some positions.
Appointment. Before any commitment is made to an applicant either internal or external, the
Department Head shall make recommendations to the Human Resources Director including the
position to be filled, the salary to be paid, and the reasons for selecting the candidate over other
candidates. The Human Resources Director and Department Head shall recommend approval of
appointments and the starting salary for all applicants to the Appointing or Hiring Authority. All
employment offers should be confirmed in writing. The Personnel Action Form, the original
application for employment, a copy of the employment offer letter, and any additional supporting
documents pertaining to the selected candidate should be submitted to the Human Resources office
prior to the beginning date of employment. The documents will become part of the new employee’s
personnel file.
Section 4. Probationary Period
An employee appointed or promoted to a regular position shall serve a probationary period.
Employees shall serve a nine-month probationary period, except that sworn law enforcement
personnel and department heads shall serve a twelve-month probationary period. Employees in
trainee or "Work Against" appointments will have specific time frames established for their
probationary period.
During the probationary period, supervisors shall monitor an employee's performance and
communicate with the employee concerning performance progress. Before the end of the
probationary period, the supervisor shall determine whether or not the employee is performing
satisfactory work and meeting job expectations. The employee's progress (accomplishments,
strengths, and areas for improvement) will be discussed with the employee and a summary of this
discussion should be documented in the employee's personnel file. The supervisor shall recommend
in writing whether the probationary period should be completed, extended, or the employee
transferred, demoted, or dismissed.
Disciplinary action, including demotion and dismissal, may be taken at any time during the
probationary period of a new hire without following the steps outlined in this Policy. In other words,
an employee in the probationary period is treated as an “at will” employee. A promoted or
transferred employee who does not successfully complete the probationary period in the employee’s
new position may be transferred or demoted to a position in which the employee shows promise of
success. If no such position is available, the employee shall be dismissed. Promoted or transferred
employees shall retain all other rights and benefits such as the right to use the grievance procedures,
provided the employee has completed the minimum probationary period for their initial position
(typically 9-12 months).
Section 5. Promotion
Promotion is the movement of an employee from one position to a vacant position in a class
assigned to a higher salary range. It is the County's policy to create career opportunities for its
employees whenever possible. Therefore, when a current employee applying for a vacant position
117
29
is best suited of all applicants, that applicant shall be promoted to that position. The County will
balance three goals in the employment process:
a)the benefits to employees and the organization of promotion from within;
b)providing equal employment opportunity and a diversified workforce to the community; and
c)obtaining the best possible employee who will provide the most productivity in that position.
Therefore, except in rare situations where previous County experience is essential or exceptional
qualifications of an internal candidate so indicate, the County will consider external and internal
candidates rather than automatically promote from within. Candidates for promotion shall be chosen
on the basis of their qualifications and their work records. Internal candidates shall apply for
promotions using the same application process as external candidates.
Section 6. Demotion
Demotion is the movement of an employee from one position to a position in a class assigned to a
lower salary range. Demotions may be voluntary or involuntary. An employee whose work or conduct
in the current position is unsatisfactory may be involuntarily demoted provided that the employee
shows promise of becoming a satisfactory employee in the lower position. Such demotion shall follow
the disciplinary procedures outlined in this chapter. Demoted employees may appeal this decision
based on the Grievance Process outlined in this Personnel Policy.
An employee may request a voluntary demotion when a vacant position is available. Employees may
request voluntary demotions in order to accept a position with less complex duties and reduced
responsibilities, to change career paths, or for other reasons. A voluntary demotion is not a
disciplinary action and is made without using the above-reference disciplinary procedures.
Section 7. Transfer
Transfer is the movement of an employee from one position to a position in a class in the same salary
range. If a vacancy occurs and an employee in another department is eligible for a transfer, the
employee shall apply for the Transfer using the usual application process. The Department Head
wishing to Transfer an employee to a different department or classification shall make a
recommendation to the County Manager. Any employee transferred without requesting the action
may appeal the action in accordance with the grievance procedure outlined in this policy. Employees
who are transferred to a different department will serve a nine-month probationary period.
Section 8. Accommodations
The County is committed to complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and North
Carolina law. Accordingly, the County will provide a reasonable accommodation to qualified
individuals with disabilities, unless it creates an undue hardship or poses a direct threat to the health
and safety of others. You should make a request for a reasonable accommodation to your
Department Head. The request should be made in writing.
The County is also committed to providing a reasonable accommodation of an Employee’s sincerely
held religious belief, when required by law, unless doing so would create an undue hardship for the
Department. You should make a request for a reasonable accommodation to your Department Head.
The request should be made in writing.
118
30
ARTICLE V. CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
Section 1. Work Schedule
Department Heads shall establish work schedules, with the approval of the County Manager, which
meet the operational needs of the department in the most cost-effective manner possible.
Section 2. Political Activity
Each employee has a civic responsibility to support good government by every available means and
in every appropriate manner. Each employee may join or affiliate with civic organizations of a
partisan or political nature, may attend political meetings, may advocate and support the principles
or policies of civic or political organizations in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the State
of North Carolina and in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the United States. However,
no employee shall:
a)Engage in any political or partisan activity while on duty;
b)Use official authority of influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of
a nomination or an election for office;
c)Be required as a duty of employment or as condition for employment, promotion or tenure
of office to contribute funds for political or partisan purposes;
d)Coerce or compel contributions from another employee of the County for political or
partisan purposes;
e)Use any supplies or equipment of the County for political or partisan purposes; or
County employees in certain federally-funded programs are subject to the Hatch Act, as amended
in 1975. This federal act, in addition to prohibiting (b), (c), and (d) above, also prohibits candidacy
for elective office in a partisan election. This policy is not intended to intrude upon any First
Amendment or Fourteenth Amendment rights of County Employees.
Any violation of this section shall be deemed improper conduct and shall subject the employee to
disciplinary action under this Policy.
Section 3. Expectation of Ethical Conduct
The proper operation of County government requires that public officials and employees be
independent, impartial, and responsible to the people; that governmental decisions and policy be
made in the proper channels of the governmental structure; that public office not be used for personal
gain; and that the public have confidence in the integrity of its government.
As stewards of public resources and holders of the public trust, County employees are expected to
up hold the highest standards of ethical conduct while fulfilling their job duties and responsibilities.
No employee of the County shall accept any gift, favor, or thing of value (more than $50) from
organizations, business firms, or individuals with whom they have official relationships because of
119
31
County business. These limitations do not prohibit the acceptance of articles of negligible value
which are distributed generally, nor prohibit employees from accepting social courtesies that provide
good public relations, not prohibit employees from obtaining loans from public lending institutions. It
is particularly important that inspectors, contracting officers, and law enforcement officers guard
against relationships that might be construed as evidence of favoritism, coercion, unfair advantage,
or collusion.
Section 4. Outside Employment
The work of the County shall have precedence over other occupational interests of employees. All
outside employment for salaries, wages, or commission and all self-employment must be reported
in advance to the employee's supervisor, who in turn will report it to the County Manager. The County
Manager will review such employment for possible conflict of interest and then approve or disapprove
the secondary employment. Documentation of the approval of outside employment will be placed in
the employee’s personnel file. Any employee who obtains outside employment but does not receive
approval for such employment under this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and
including dismissal.
Examples of conflicts of interest in outside employment include but are not limited to:
a)employment with organizations or in capacities that are regulated by the employee or
employee’s department; or
b)employment with organizations or in capacities that negatively impact the employee’s
perceived integrity, neutrality, or reputation related to performance of the employee’s County
duties.
Off the job injuries: An employee who sustains an injury or illness in connection with outside
employment and is receiving Workers’ Compensation from that employer shall not be eligible to use
accrued sick leave.
Section 5. Dual Employment
The County does not typically allow employees to hold more than one position with the County. In
some cases, the County may make such an allowance, in its sole discretion. In the event the County
makes such an allowance, one job shall be designated the primary position, and one shall be
designated as the secondary position.
Section 6. Employment of Relatives
The County prohibits the hiring and employment of immediate family in permanent positions within
the same work unit. "Immediate Family" is defined herein. If there is a lack of qualified applicants
for a position in the same work unit and a qualified immediate family member applies, the supervisor
may request the County Manager for an exception. Outside of the same work unit, the County will
consider employing family members or related persons in the service of the County, provided that
such employment does not:
a)result in a relative supervising relatives;
120
32
b)result in a relative auditing the work of a relative;
c)create a conflict of interest with either relative and the County; or
d)create the potential or perception of favoritism.
Section 7. Harassment
Harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, or any other
class protected by any applicable law, constitutes discrimination. The County opposes harassment
by supervisors and co-workers in any form. Harassment is verbal or physical conduct that denigrates
or shows hostility or aversion toward an individual because of his or her race, color, religion, sex,
national origin, qualified disability, marital status, age, genetic information (including family medical
history), marital status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, status as parent, or labor organization
affiliation or non-affiliation, or that of his or her relatives, friends, or associates.
Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other
verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when a) submission to such conduct is made either
explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment; b) submission to or rejection
of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such
individual; or c) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an
individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.
Any employee who believes that he or she may have a complaint of harassment may follow the
Grievance Procedure described in this Policy or may file the complaint directly with the County
Manager, Human Resources Director, or any department head who will advise the Human
Resources Director of the complaint. The Human Resources Director will insure that an investigation
is conducted into any allegation of harassment and advise the employee and appropriate
management officials of the outcome of the investigation.
Employees witnessing harassment shall also report such conduct to an appropriate County official.
Employees who report or make a complaint of harassment will not be subject to retaliation for doing
so.
Section 8. Use of County Time, Equipment, Supplies, and Vehicles
County supplies and equipment are to be used exclusively for the County's business. During working
hours, an employee shall only conduct County business. Use of County time, supplies, or equipment
for personal or other purposes not related to the employee’s County duties and responsibilities is
prohibited and subjects the employee to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
All employees, who use County vehicles are required to follow applicable motor vehicle and safety
requirements, maybe subject to random drug tests and annual driver’s license checks. Family
members are not to be transported in County vehicles. Violation or misuse of County vehicles also
subjects the employee to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
County equipment, materials, tool and supplies, shall not be available for personal use and are not
121
33
to be removed from County property except in the conduct of official County business, unless
approved by the Board. No employee shall purchase for personal use any equipment or supplies
through County purchase accounts.
Separate policies covering the use of phones, email, computers, county cell phones and vehicles
are available in the HR office or on the County website.
Under North Carolina law, email sent or received by the County is generally considered a public
record and is subject to inspection upon request, and employees should therefore use caution with
email correspondence and follow all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the same
Surrender of Property. An employee who terminates employment shall be required to return all items
of equipment, including uniforms, ID badge, keys, credit cards, P-cards and other items owned by
the County. Pursuant to applicable law, if County owned property is not returned within established
timeframes, the County reserves the right to withhold portions of the employee’s final check until the
items are returned.
Section 9. Performance Evaluation
Supervisors and/or Department Heads shall conduct Performance Evaluation conferences with each
employee on or around their Anniversary Date. These performance evaluations shall be documented
in writing and placed in the employee's personnel file. The performance evaluation policy is available
in the HR office or on the County website.
Section 10. Safety
Safety is the responsibility of both the County and employees. It is the policy of the County to
establish a safe work environment for employees. The County shall establish a safety program
including policies and procedures regarding safety practices and precautions and training in safety
methods. Department Heads and supervisors are responsible for insuring the safe work procedures
of all employees and providing necessary safety training programs. Employees shall follow the safety
policies and procedures and attend safety training programs. Employees who violate such policies
and procedures shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
Additional detailed procedures regarding safety, worker's compensation, injury, and infection control
may be established by the County Manager.
Section 11. Immigration Law Requirements
All employees are required to furnish proof of citizenship or other required documents indicating a
legal right to work in the United States. Copies of the completed I-9 form shall be a permanent part
of their personnel file. The County uses E-verify which is an Internet-based system operated by the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration
(SSA) that allows participating employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their
newly hired employees. E-verify works by electronically comparing the information on an
employee’s Form I-9 with SSA and DHS records to verify the identity and employment eligibility of
each newly hired employee and/or employee assigned to a covered federal contract. All new,
temporary, and rehire employees must be entered into E-verify individually.
122
34
Section 12. Substance Abuse and Employee Assistance Program
The County is firmly committed to maintaining a drug and alcohol-free work environment in order to
insure the safety and welfare of the general public and all County employees and to insure an efficient
and effective work force. The County also seeks to aid employees experiencing substance abuse
problems by offering rehabilitation opportunities. The County Manager has the authority to establish,
administer, and enforce substance abuse processes and procedures within the County. A separate
Substance Abuse Policy is available in the HR office or on the County website. An Employee
Assistance Program is available to County employees through the County’s insurance. Contact the
HR office for details or refer to your insurance card.
Section 13. Credentials and Certifications
Some duties assigned to positions in local government service may be performed only by persons
who are duly licensed, registered or certified as required by the relevant law, rule or regulation.
Employees in such classifications are responsible for maintaining current, valid credentials as
required by law, rule or regulation. Failure to obtain or maintain the required credentials may be a
basis for immediate dismissal without prior warning. An employee who is dismissed shall be given
a written statement of the reason for the action and his/her appeal rights.
Section 14. Travel rules and Regulations.
The policy of the County is to reimburse employees traveling on authorized County business for work
related expenses incurred as a result of the travel. Each department head is responsible for
authorization of employee travel and the reimbursement of travel expenses in accordance with
procedures issued periodically by the finance department. The County Manager shall authorize and
approve travel for department heads.
Section 15. Internet access.
The County provides Internet access via various computers throughout the county offices. Any
employee utilizing the Internet shall comply with the Acceptable Computer Use & Security Policy.
Violation of this policy represents grounds for dismissal.

social security.
Section 2. Group Health and Hospitalization Insurance
The County provides group health and hospitalization insurance programs for Full-time permanent
employees.
Employees may add dependents to the group health and hospitalization insurance at a cost paid by
the employee.
Information concerning cost and benefits shall be available to all employees from the Human

Section 3. Group Life Insurance
The County provides paid life insurance to its employees. Information on costs, coverage, and
benefits are available from the Human Resources Office.
Section 4. Other Optional Group Insurance Plans
The County may make other group insurance plans available to employees upon authorization of

from the Human Resources Office.
Section 5. Retirement
Each employee who is expected to work for the County more than 1,000 hours annually shall join
the North Carolina Local Governmental Employees' Retirement System when eligible as a condition
of employment. New hires who are current members of the NC Local or State Government
Employees’ Retirement System will likely be covered under the retirement system as of their first day
of employment.
Employees contribute, through payroll deduction, six percent of their gross salary to the system. The
County contributes an actuarially determined percentage of the gross payroll each month to the
system.
Provisions of this system are further outlined in the North Carolina Local Government Employees'
Retirement System handbook available from the Human Resource Office. Please note that the
specifics of this program may change from time to time and the provisions of LGERS, not this
Handbook, will apply.
124
36
Please also note that law enforcement officers may be covered by the Law Enforcement Officer’s
Benefit and Retirement Fund, which applies different criteria. Information on the NCLEOBRF can be
found in the Human Resources Department.
Retiree Health Insurance
A Regular, Full-time employee of the County who applies for and receives full or reduced LGERS or
NCLEOBRF retirement may continue comparable individual coverage as is provided to active, full
time County employees. In the event the County requires its active Full-time employees to pay a
pro-rated share of his or her individual medical insurance costs, eligible retirees will also be required
to pay the same pro-rated share as active Full-time employees. The cost for the employee’s share
of the premiums, if any, will be determined on an annual basis.
Retiree health benefits are provided on the following pro-rated basis based on years of Continuous
Employment with Person County:
a)The County will pay 50% of the cost of comparable individual coverage for an employee
retiring with 20 years of Continuous Employment with Person County;
b)The County will pay 75% of the cost of comparable individual coverage for an employee
retiring with 25 years of Continuous Employment with Person County;
c)The County will pay 100% of the cost of comparable individual coverage for an employee
retiring with 30 years of Continuous Employment with Person County.
Coverage will continue until the employee becomes eligible for Medicare, at which time the County
will no longer pay for comparable coverage.
In the event the eligible retiree chooses to cancel or elects not to participate in the retirement health
insurance benefit, or otherwise is disqualified for receipt of the retirement health insurance benefit,
the eligible retiree will not be allowed to reapply for the retirement health insurance benefit at a later
date.
The retirement health insurance benefit will be applied only to eligible retirees. Should an eligible
retiree wish to continue benefits for a dependent, the eligible retiree may do so at the same level
allowed for active, full time employees, and at his or her own personal expense. Dependent coverage
will terminate at the death of the retired employee.
Service time credit with the County will be calculated based on actual service time and any sick
leave time that is on balance with the County at the time of retirement.
The County has the sole discretion to change providers, determine the amount of pro-rated shares,
and to determine coverage or plan options for both active employees and eligible retirees.
125
37
Section 6. Supplemental Retirement Benefits (401-K)
The County allows employees to defer a portion of their income before taxes into a 401-K tax
deferment plan. The County provides contributions of 5% to a 401-K plan for active law enforcement
personnel as required by the state, and an amount to be determined by the County Commissioners
to other full -time permanent employees.
The County also pays a monthly separation allowance to retired law enforcement officers as required
by General Statues.
The County may choose to offer other deferred compensation or supplemental programs.
Section 7. Social Security
The County, to the extent of its lawful authority and power, has extended Social Security benefits for
its eligible employees and eligible groups and classes of such employees.
Section 8. Workers' Compensation
All employees of the County (Full-time, Part-time, and temporary) are covered by the North Carolina
Workers' Compensation Act and are required to report all injuries arising out of and in the course of
employment to their immediate supervisors at the time of the injury in order that appropriate action
may be taken.
Employees may elect to use sick leave and/or vacation both during the waiting period before
Workers' compensation benefits begin, and afterward to supplement the remaining one-third of
salary, except that employee may not exceed the regular salary amount using this provision. This
provision also applies to reactions to small pox vaccinations administered to County employees
under Section 304 of the Homeland Security Act. Such reactions shall be treated the same as any
other workers compensation claim as regards leave and salary continuation.
Responsibility for claiming compensation under the Workers' Compensation Act is on the injured
employee. Supervisors and employees should place Human Resources on notice of any work-
related accident immediately after it occurs, if possible. The Human Resources department will
coordinate the filing of such claims.
Section 9. Unemployment Compensation
County employees are covered by unemployment insurance. County employees who are terminated
due to a reduction in force or released from County service may apply for benefits through the local
Employment Security Commission office, where a determination of eligibility will be made.
Section 10. Tuition Assistance Program
Full-time employees who have completed initial probation may apply for tuition reimbursement for
courses taken on their own time, which will improve their skills for their current job or prepare them
for promotional opportunities within the County service. Tuition, registration, fees, laboratory fees,
and student fees are eligible expenses. Employees may be reimbursed eligible expenses up to a
126
38
total of eight hundred dollars ($800)$2,500 per fiscal year. Satisfactory completion of the courses
will be required for reimbursement. Requests for tuition assistance shall be submitted to the
Department Head in writing prior to course registration and are subject to the review and approval of
Department Head, HR Director and County Manager, subject to availability of funds. If approved,
reimbursement will be taken from the department’s training and/or travel line item. Requests for
tuition reimbursements should be submitted prior to the upcoming fiscal year
to ensure funding is available. If an employee terminates within 3 years of tuition
reimbursement he/she will be required to reimburse the County a pro-rated amount.
Termination after tuition reimbursement Payback amount
Less than 1 year 100%
1 year, but less than 2 years 50%
2 years, but less than 3 years 25%
Section 11. Credit Union
Membership in the Local Government Employees' Credit Union is open to all County employees for
various loan services, checking, and savings accounts. Membership in the State Employees' Credit
Union is open to all employees under the State Human Resources Act and their family members for
various loan services, checking, and savings accounts.
127
39
ARTICLE VII. HOLIDAYS AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Section 1. Policy
The policy of the County is to provide annual leave, sick leave, and holiday leave to all Full-time
employees in a permanent position with the County. Leave balances accrue with each payroll cycle
(excluding when a third check is issued in a month) when employees are working or are in a paid
leave status. Leave balances should be printed on payroll checks or provided to employees with
each paycheck, including net accrued sick leave, annual, holiday leave, and compensatory leave.
Section 2. Holidays
The policy of the County is to follow the holiday schedule as published by the State of North Carolina
each year. The schedule for the calendar year will be published by December 1 of the previous
calendar year for distribution to County employees. Regardless of their scheduled hoursPublic safety
employees, regularly scheduled to work 2,184 hours per year, will receive 8.4 hours of Holiday Pay
for each holiday, employees regularly scheduled to work 8 or more hours in a day2,080 hours per
year will be entitled to receive 8 hours of Holiday Pay for each holiday. , and employees regularly
scheduled to work 7.5hours in a day1,950 hours per year will be entitled to receive 7.5 hours of
Holiday Pay for each holiday.
Section 3. Holidays: Effect on Other Types of Leave
Regular holidays which occur during annual, sick or other leave period of any employee shall not be
considered as annual, sick, or other leave.
Section 4. Holidays: Compensation When Work is Required
Public Safety employees required to perform work on regularly scheduled holidays shall be entitled
to receive 8.4 hours pay for the holiday, regardless of the time spent working. In other words, if a Public
Safety Employee works 10 hours on a holiday, the employee will be paid their regular wage for the
actual time worked, plus 8.4 hours of holiday pay.
All other employees who are required to work on a holiday, or work longer hours on non-holidays
during the week of a holiday (for non-exempt employees only), will be entitled to receive either 7.5
or 8 hours of holiday pay depending on their work schedules as described above. Any earned holiday
pay which is in excess of the employee’s standard weekly pay will be “banked” as holiday time, and
shall be used before any annual leave or compensatory time is applied. For example, if a non-
exempt employee usually works 37.5 hours a week, works 32 hours Monday through Thursday,
and does not work on the Friday Holiday, 5.5 hours of holiday time will be used in order to ensure
the employee receives his or her regular weekly wage, and 2 hours of time will be “banked” for the
employees’ use in the future. In the event this same employee worked 30 hours Monday through
Thursday, the employee would be paid for all 7.5 hours of holiday pay. Any unused holiday hours
will be paid out. Payout will occur twice a year on the last paydays of June and December. This
enables employees to schedule time off during the year to use the banked holiday hours before
payout.
Upon termination, an employee will be paid for any unused holiday time that is available.
128
40
Departments with employees working a shift schedule will compensate those employees for working
on the “true” holiday.
Section 5: Wellness Day
While prioritizing the well-being of employees, the county will provide regular full-time employees with
an annual accrual for a Wellness Day. This day can be utilized to support both mental and physical
well-being. The accrual rate will align with sick accruals. Any unused Wellness Day at the end of the
calendar year will not carry over and must be used in a one-day increment. Approval from the
supervisor is necessary for utilizing the Wellness Day. Although we recognize that the purpose of this
day may not always allow for advanced notice, employees are expected to provide as much notice as
possible.
Section 6. Annual Leave
Annual leave may be used for any purpose. Full-time Employees (including Probationary
employees) must request annual leave from their supervisor with as much advance notice as
possible, or as determined by the Department Head. Annual leave may also be used by employees
who wish to observe religious holidays other than those granted by the County, upon request in
advance. Supervisors are responsible for einsuring proper staff coverage and may refuse annual
requests when they create a hardship for the County
Section 7. Annual Leave: Accrual Rate
Full-time Employees (including probationary employees) of the County shall earn annual leave at
the following schedule:
Years of Service Days Accrued Per Year
0 - 4 12
5 - 9 15
10 -– 14 18
15 -– 19 20
20 plus 21
Years of Service Days Accrued Per Year
0-2 years 12 days
3-4 years 15 days
5-9 years 17 days
10-14 years 20 days
15-19 years 22 days
20 plus years 25 days
Annual leave should be accrued in each payroll period on a pro-rated basis.
129
41
Section 8. Annual Leave: Maximum Accumulation
Annual leave may be accumulated without any applicable maximum until December 31 of each year.
Effective the last payroll in the calendar year, any employee with more than 30 days of accumulated
leave shall have the excess accumulation converted to sick leave so that only 30 days are carried
forward to January 1 of the next calendar year.
Because the number of hours in employee work weeks vary, the number of hours in 30 days varies.
30 days for 37.5 hour employees = 225 hours; 30 days for 40+ hour employees = 240 hours.
Employees are cautioned not to retain excess accumulated annual leave until late in the year.
Because of the necessity to keep all functions in operation, large numbers of employees cannot be
granted annual leave at any one time. If an employee has excess leave accumulation during the
latter part of the year and is unable to take such leave because of staffing demands, the employee
shall receive no special consideration either in having annual leave scheduled or in receiving any
exception to the maximum accumulation. Employees may not receive pay for excess annual leave
time.
Section 9. Annual Leave: Manner of Taking
Employees shall be granted the use of earned annual leave upon request in advance at those times
designated by the Department Head which will least obstruct normal operations of the County.
Department heads are responsible for insuring that approved annual leave does not hinder
the effectiveness of service delivery. Annual leave will be taken in quarter hour units.
Section 10. Annual Leave: Payment upon Separation
An employee who has successfully completed their initial probationary period will normally be paid
for accumulated annual leave upon separation subject to the 30-day maximum, provided notice is
given to the supervisor at least two weeks in advance of the effective date of resignation. Department
Heads are required to give a 30-day notice. Any employee failing to give the notice required by this
section shall forfeit payment for accumulated leave. The notice requirement may be waived by the
County Manager when deemed to be in the best interest of the County.
Non-probationary employees who are involuntarily separated shall receive payment for accumulated
annual leave subject to the 30-day maximum.
Hours Worked Accumulated Maximum
37.5 hour work week 225 hours
40 hour work week 240 hours
Sheriff’s Office, Communications, EMS 252 hours
130
42
Probationary Employees will not receive payment for any accumulated annual leave should their
employment end during or at the end of the Probationary Period.
Section 11. Annual Leave: Payment upon Death
The estate of an employee who dies while employed by the County shall be entitled to payment of
all the accumulated annual leave credited to the employee's account not to exceed the 30-day
maximum.
Section 12. Sick Leave
Sick leave with pay is not a right which an employee may demand, but a privilege granted for the
benefit of an employee when sick. Sick leave may be granted to a Full-time employee (including
probationary employees) absent from work for any of the following reasons: sickness, bodily injury,
required physical or dental examinations or treatment, or exposure to a contagious disease, when
continuing work might jeopardize the health of others.
Sick leave may be used when an employee must care for a member of his or her immediate family
who is ill, but may not be used to care for healthy children when the regular care giver is sick.
Sick leave may also be used to supplement Workers' Compensation Disability Leave both during the
waiting period before Workers' Compensation benefits begin, and afterward to supplement the
remaining salary, except that employees may not exceed their regular salary amount using this
provision.
"Immediate family" is defined in the definitions section of this Policy.
Notification of the desire to take sick leave should be submitted to the employee's supervisor prior to
the leave when the need for leave is known. When unknown, the employee should notify his or her
supervisor no later than two hours prior to the beginning of the scheduled workday. Please note that
different departments may specifically require more than two (2) hours’ notice. Failure to do so
appropriately may result in disciplinary action.
In the event the employee needs to take more than three (3) consecutive days of sick leave, the
employee should inform his or her supervisor or Human Resources of the same so that the employee
can appropriately be considered for FMLA. Supervisors should ensure that Human Resources is
aware of any absence that exceeds three (3) consecutive days.
Employees who take an entire day of sick leave will be paid based on the hours scheduled to work
on that day. Payment for sick leave hours in excess of the employee's scheduled work hours shall
not be an option. Sick leave will generally be authorized only for the time off that would fall on a
scheduled workday.
In order to facilitate the recruitment of qualified persons with appropriate public-sector experience,
the County Manager may authorize the carry-over of all of the unused sick leave that has been
certified as accumulated during employment with a past state or local government employer under
the State or Local Government Employees Retirement System.
131
43
Section 13. Sick Leave: Accrual Rate and Accumulation
Sick leave shall accrue at a rate of one day per month of service or twelve days per year for full time
employees. Sick leave will be cumulative for an indefinite period of time and may be converted upon
retirement for service credit consistent with the provisions of the North Carolina Local Government
Employees' Retirement System.
All sick leave accumulated by an employee shall end and terminate without compensation when the
employee resigns or is separated from the County, except as stated for employees retiring pursuant to
the terms of the North Carolina Local Government Retirement System. Sick leave will be kept on file
for five years with the County.
Section 14. Sick Leave: Medical Certification
The employee’s supervisor or Department Head may require a physician's certificate stating the
nature of the employee or immediate family member's illness and the employee's capacity to resume
duties, for each occasion on which an employee uses sick leave, whenever the supervisor observes a
"pattern of absenteeism,” or for other applicable reasons. The employee may be required to submit to
such medical examination or inquiry as the Department Head deems desirable. The Department Head
shall be responsible for the application of this provision to the end that:
a)Employees shall not be on duty when they might endanger their health or the health of
other employees; and
b)There will be no abuse of leave privileges.
Claiming sick leave under false pretense to obtain a day off with pay shall subject the employee to
disciplinary action.
Section 15. Bereavement Leave
Sick leave may be used for death in the employee’s immediate family, but may not exceed three
days for any one occurrence.Person County recognizes the importance of supporting employees as
they grieve the loss of a family member. Bereavement leave may be used for death in the full-time
employee's immediate family but may not exceed three consecutive days for any one occurrence.
An employee may not use more bereavement leave than what he or she is scheduled to work on
the day being missed and cannot use bereavement leave to be paid more than the employee’s
scheduled work hours for the week. Additional time off for the loss of a family member or to grieve
the loss of an individual outside the definition of an immediate family member may be requested.
Such leave must be approved by the supervisor. If approved, the time off must be charged to
annual leave, holiday leave, sick leave, or other accrued leave. Paid leave must be exhausted
before leave without pay is requested. Any additional leave would need to be approved by the
Employee’s supervisor.
Documentation may be requested by the supervisor for the need for bereavement leave.
132
44
Section 16. Extended Leave
A full -time permanent employee may be granted an extended leave of absence for a period of up to
six months by the County Manager. The leave should be used for reasons of personal disability,
sickness or disability of immediate family members, continuation of education, special work that will
permit the County to benefit by the experience gained or the work performed, or for other reasons
deemed justified by the County Manager.
The employee shall apply in writing to the Department Head for leave and the Department Head will
forward to the County Manager. The employee is obligated to return to duty within or at the end of
the time determined appropriate by the County Manager unless otherwise required by law. Upon
returning to duty after being on leave for up to six months the employee shall be entitled to return to
the same position held at the time leave was granted or to one of like classification, seniority, and
pay. After the six months of leave, the County will make all efforts to return the employee to the
same position held at the time leave was granted, or to a position of like classification, seniority, and
pay, but an employee is not entitled such reinstatement unless otherwise required by law. If the
employee decides not to return to work, the Department Head shall be notified immediately. Failure
to report at the expiration of a leave of absence, unless an extension or other type of accommodation
has been requested, shall be considered a resignation.
An employee on an extended leave of absence will be required to exhaust any unused holiday hours,
compensatory time, sick leave, annual leave, or other paid leave prior to going into a leave without
pay status. While in a paid leave status, all benefits and entitlements which would normally accrue
will continue to accrue. While in a leave without pay status, the employee may continue to be eligible
for benefits under the County’s Group insurance plans at his or her own expense, subject to any
regulation adopted by the County Commissioners, the regulations of the insurance carrier, and any
other federal, state or local la. At the time at which a triggering event occurs, an Employee will be
provided with a COBRA notice.
Leave for a permanent Part-time employee will be considered on a case by case basis, and will be
allowed in the sole discretion of the County.
Section 17. Parental Leave
After successful completion of the probationary period, regular full-time employees who are new
parents from the birth of a child or who legally adopt a child and who intend to return to work are
given 30 paid days of new parent leave. Requests for such leave should be made in writing at least
60 days before the start of the requested parental leave. Leave must be used concurrently with
Family Medical Leave (FMLA) and will begin on the first day out. A doctor’s note will be required to
begin the leave period and continue as approved by a doctor. Insurance benefits will continue during
parental leave as will accrual of paid vacation and sick leave. If both parents work for the County
and want to use parental leave, it cannot exceed 30 days combined.
Effective July 1, 2019
133
45
Section 18. Family Medical Leave
The County will grant family and medical leave of up to 12 weeks and up to 26 weeks of military
caregiver leave, during any calendar year, to eligible employees in accordance with the Family and
Medical Leave Act.
Eligible employees will receive compensation for up to two weeks of paid time off at the beginning of
Family Medical Leave, which may be on a continuous or intermittent basis. (Employees who receive
parental leave do not receive additional paid Family Medical Leave.)
Paid leave will be based on the employee’s regular work schedule. During the FMLA period, eligible
employees are required to exhaust all available paid leave before going on a leave without pay, and
such paid time should be coordinated with the County’s annual, sick leave and compensatory time
off policies. Employees must also use any paid time off which is accrued while they are in a paid
leave status prior to going on a leave without pay. Once available paid leave has been exhausted,
the remaining FMLA leave period will be unpaid. Additional time away from the job beyond the 12-
week period may be approved in accordance with the County’s leave without pay policy.
To qualify for FMLA coverage, the employee must have been employed by the County for at least
12 months; which do not have to be consecutive. However, the employee must have worked 1,250
hours during the twelve-month period immediately before the date when the FMLA leave is
scheduled to begin.
Leave can be used for the following reasons:
a)For incapacity due to pregnancy, prenatal medical care or child birth;
b)For the birth of, and to care for, the employee’s child after birth;
c)For placement of a child with employee for adoption or for foster care;
d)To care for the employee’s spouse, son or daughter or parent, who has a serious health
condition;
e)For a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the functions of
their job;
f)To care for the employee’s spouse, child, parent or next of kin who is a Covered Service
member with a Serious Injury or Illness incurred while on active duty (Military Caregiver
Leave); and/or
g)Because of a Qualifying Exigency of an employee’s spouse, child or parent who is either on
active duty or who has been called to active duty (Military Exigency Leave).
An employee who takes leave under this policy will be entitled to return to the same job or a job with
equivalent status, pay, benefits, and other employment terms. The position will be the same or one
which entails substantially equivalent skill, effort, responsibility, and authority.
If both spouses work for the County and each wish to take leave for the birth of a child, adoption or
placement of a child in foster care, or to care for a parent (not parent in-law) with a serious health
condition, the spouses together may only take a total of 12 weeks leave under FMLA.
An employee taking leave for the birth of a child may use paid sick leave for the period of actual
disability, based on medical certification. The employee shall then use all paid annual leave and
accrued compensatory time for the remainder of the 12-week period.
134
46
An employee does not need to use FMLA leave in one block. Leave can be taken intermittently or on
a reduced leave schedule when medically necessary. Employees must make reasonable efforts to
schedule leave for planned medical treatment so as not to unduly disrupt the County’s operations.
The County reserves the right to request updated medical certifications every 30 days for intermittent
leave. The County will charge the employee’s FMLA for any leave taken for the purpose of the
FMLA qualifying health condition. Accordingly, it is the employee’s duty to notify his or her department
head so that it is clear that the need for unplanned leave is FMLA qualifying. If it is unclear, please be
aware that the department head may ask whether the need for the leave is for the employee’s FMLA
qualifying health condition.
Untruthful responses to County inquiries, untruthful statements on medical certifications, or working
for ones’ self or another entity while on FMLA leave will be considered abuse of the county’s leave
policies and may subject an employee to discipline.
A “Serious Health Condition” is defined as an injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition
which requires inpatient care at a hospital, hospice, or residential medical care facility, or a condition
which requires continuing care by a licensed health care provider, or continuing treatment by a health
care provider which includes any period of incapacity due to a chronic or long-term health condition
which results in a period of incapacity or more than three days. Pregnancy or prenatal care, a chronic,
serious health condition which continues over an extended period of time and requires periodic visits
to a health care provider, or permanent or long-term condition for which treatment may not be
effective, or any absences to receive multiple treatments for restorative surgery or for a condition
which would likely result in a period of incapacity of more than three (3) days if not treated, will all
likely qualify as a serious health condition.
“Military Exigency” is a qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that the employee’s spouse, son,
daughter, or parent is a military service member (reserve or national guard) under a call or order to
federal active duty in support of a contingency operation. Qualifying events are:
1.deployment of service member with seven or fewer days’ notice;
2.military ceremonies and events such as family-assistance or informational programs
related to the family member’s active duty or call to active duty;
3.urgent, immediate childcare or arranging for alternative childcare for the children of
service members;
4.attending school or daycare meetings relating to the child of service member;
5.making financial or legal arrangements related to a family member’s active duty status
or call to active duty; or
6.post-deployment activities for a period of ninety days after the termination of the service
member’s active duty status.
“Military Caregiver Leave” includes an employee whose spouse, son, daughter, parent or next of kin
is a current service member who is undergoing treatment, therapy, recuperation or outpatient
treatment or has temporary disability retirement for injury or illness sustained in the line of duty, is
eligible for 26 weeks of leave in a single 12-month period. During a single 12-month period, the
employee is eligible for a total of 26 weeks of all types of FMLA leave.
Section 19. Family and Medical Leave: Medical Certification
135
47
In order to qualify for leave under this law, the County requires medical certification. This statement
from the employee's or the family member's physician should include the date when the condition
began, its expected duration, diagnosis, and brief statement of treatment. For the employee's own
health condition, it should state that the employee is unable to perform the essential functions of
his/her position. For a seriously ill family member, the certification must include a statement that the
patient requires assistance and the employee's presence would be beneficial or desirable.
This certification should be furnished at least 30 days prior to the needed leave unless the employee's
or family member's condition is a sudden one. The certification should be furnished as soon as
possible (no longer than 15 days from the date of the employee’s request under most scenarios).
The certification and request must be made to the department head and filed with the Human
Resources Director.
The employee is expected to return to work at the end of the time frame stated in the medical
certification, unless he/she has requested additional time off in writing under the County's Leave
Without Pay policy, or has requested some other type of accommodation.
Section 20. Family Medical Leave and Leave Without Pay: Retention and Continuation of
Benefits
When an employee is on leave under FMLA, the County will continue the employee's health benefits
during the leave period at the same level and under the same conditions as if the employee had
continued to work. In the event the Employee is required to pay a portion of his or her health care
premium, the Employee must make arrangements to do so with the Human Resources Director prior
to beginning FMLA leave. If an employee chooses not to return to work for reasons other than a
continued serious health condition, the County will require the reimbursement of the amount paid for
the employee's health insurance premiums during the FMLA leave period.
Other insurance and payroll deductions are the responsibility of the employee and the employee
must make those payments for continued coverage of that benefit.
During the time an employee uses paid leave, including but not limited to sick leave, annual leave or
holiday leave during FMLA leave, the employee will continue to accumulate sick and annual leave.
An employee ceases to accrue leave on the date leave without pay begins and service credit with
LGERS is not typically earned while in a leave without pay status.
Section 21. Workers' Compensation Leave
All injuries arising out of, and during, the course of employment should be reported by the injured
employee to the immediate supervisor as soon as possible. The supervisor or department head shall
file an injury report to the Human Resources department within twenty-four (24) hours of the time of
the accident.
An employee absent from duty because of sickness or disability covered by the North Carolina
Workers' Compensation Act may elect to use accrued sick leave, annual, or compensatory time
during the first waiting period. These days will be reimbursed only if the disability continues for more
than twenty-one (21) days. When workers’ compensation leave extends long enough for the waiting
period to be reimbursed, the employee shall return the reimbursement check to the County and have
136
48
leave hours reinstated for all time covered by paid leave. In such cases, the County will pay the
employee for any unpaid time that is owed the employee. The employee may also elect to
supplement workers’ compensation payments after they begin with sick leave, annual, or
compensatory time, provided that the combination of leave supplement and workers’ compensation
payments does not exceed normal compensation. If an employee elects to supplement time,
employees will need to key their time into the timesheet under the workers’ compensation sick leave
pay type.
An employee on workers’ compensation leave may be permitted to continue to be eligible for benefits
under the County’s group insurance plans. The employee will continue to accrue leave, such as sick,
annual and holiday leave, while supplementing workers’ compensation leave, and will retain all
accumulated sick and annual leave. Service in LGERS, however, will not accrue during the period
of workers’ compensation leave. Employees are encouraged to contact LGERS for any questions
related to creditable service time.
a)Injured employees must notify their supervisor when they are placed out of work by the
attending physician. The department head will submit a personnel action form to Human
Resources to place the employee on workers’ compensation leave.
b)Before returning to work, a statement from the attending physician should be submitted to
the Human Resources department giving permission for the employee to resume regular or
modified duties.
c)Upon return to work, the employee’s department head will submit a personnel action form to
Human Resources to remove the employee from workers’ compensation and the employee’s
salary will be computed on the basis of the last salary plus any merit increment or other salary
increase to which the employee would have been entitled during the disability covered by
workers’ compensation.
This provision also applies to reactions to small pox vaccinations administered to County
employees under Section 304 of the Homeland Security Act. Such reactions shall be treated the
same as any other workers’ compensation claim as regards leave and salary continuation.
Section 22. Military Leave
The County will fully comply with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights
Act (USERRA) and any other federal, state or local law that requires protection or benefits service
members. Regular employees entitled to military leave pursuant to state or federal law will be eligible
to receive up to four weeks of paid leave in one year. However, if the employee receives military pay
during this time, the employee shall only receive partial compensation equal to the difference in the
base salary earned during this same period as a County employee. The effect will be to maintain the
employee's salary at the normal level during this period.
If time off is required beyond four weeks in a year, the employee shall be eligible to take accumulated
holiday leave, compensatory time, sick leave and annual leave or be placed in a leave without pay
status, and the provisions of that leave shall apply. Compensatory time should be used first.
While taking protected military leave, the employee's leave credits and other benefits shall continue
137
49
to accrue as if the employee remained employed with the County. . It is the responsibility of the
employee to pay for supplemental insurances. Employees who are eligible for military leave have all
job rights specified state and federal law.
Section 23. Reinstatement Following Military Service.
The County will fully comply with the requirements of USERRA and other applicable federal, state or
local laws. An employee called to extended active duty with the United States military forces, who
does not volunteer for service beyond the period for which called, shall be reinstated with full benefits
provided the employee:
a)Applies for reinstatement within ninety days after the release from military service; and
b)Is able to perform the duties of the former position or similar position; or
c)Is unable to perform the duties of the former position or a similar position due to disability
sustained as a result of military service, but is able to perform the duties of another position
in the service of the County. In this case the employee shall be employed in such other
position as will provide the nearest approximation of the seniority, status, and pay which the
employee otherwise would have been provided, if available.
Section 24. Civil Leave
A County employee called for jury duty, receives a subpoena or as a court witness for the federal or
state governments, or a subdivision thereof, shall receive leave with pay for such duty during the
required absence without charge to accumulated leave. The employee may keep fees and travel
allowances received for jury or witness duty in addition to regular compensation; except, that
employees must turn over to the County any witness fees or travel allowance awarded by that court
for court appearances in connection with official duties. While on civil leave, benefits and leave shall
accrue as though on regular duty. This Section is meant to apply to provide protected, unpaid leave
for Jury Duty, Domestic Violence leave, and Juvenile Court Order leave, as required by the North
Carolina General Statutes.
Section 25. Parental School Leave
Under NC General Statutes 95-28.3, a County employee who is a parent, guardian, or person
standing in loco parentis (in place of the parent) may take up to four hours of unpaid leave annually
to involve him or herself in school activities of his or her child(ren). This leave is subject to the three
following conditions:
1)The leave must be taken at a time mutually agreed upon by the employee and the County;
2)The County may require the employee to request the leave in writing at least 48 hours prior
to the time of the desired leave; and
3)The County may require written verification from the child’s school that the employee was
involved at the school during the leave time.
138
50
Paid leave (annual time or earned compensatory time) taken by an employee to attend to school
activities of his or her child shall count toward the fulfillment of this provision by the County.
Section 26. Voluntary Shared Leave
Purpose
There are occurrences brought about by serious and prolonged medical conditions that cause
employees to exhaust all available leave and therefore be placed on leave without pay. It is
recognized that such employees forced to go on leave without pay could be without income at the
most critical point in their work life. It is also recognized that fellow employees may wish to voluntarily
donate some of their paid leave so as to provide assistance to a fellow employee. This policy would
provide an opportunity for employees to assist another affected by a medical condition that requires
absence from duty for a period of time resulting in possible loss of income due to lack of accumulated
leave.
This policy and program will provide the opportunity for one employee to help another on a one to
one, personal basis. It does not permit “banking” of leave.
Policy
In those cases of a medical condition an employee may apply for or be nominated to become a
recipient of leave transferred from the paid leave account of another employee. For purposes of this
policy, medical condition means medical condition of an employee or a family member of such
employee that is likely to require an employee’s absence from duty for a prolonged period of time
and to result in a substantial loss of income to the employee due to limited leave in the employee’s
leave account. The intent of this policy is to allow one employee to assist another in case of a crisis
involving a serious or prolonged medical condition. It is not the intent of this policy to apply to
incidental, normal, short-term medical conditions.
The use of paid leave on a shared basis for any purpose other than specified by this policy is
prohibited. An employee who has a medical condition and who receives benefits from the Disability
Income Plan of North Carolina (DIPNC) is not eligible to participate in the shared leave program.
Participation in this program is limited to six months, either continuously or, if for the same condition
on a recurring basis. However, management may grant employee continuation in the program,
month by month for a maximum of one year, if management would have otherwise granted leave
without pay.
An employee on workers’ compensation leave who is drawing temporary total disability
compensation may be eligible to participate in this program. Use of donated leave under the workers’
compensation program would be limited to use during the required waiting period.
Administration
139
51
This program shall be administered through Human Resources under the following conditions:
I.Qualifying to Participate
a.Employee must be a full time permanent, probationary, Work Against or trainee
appointment status.
b.By letter of application to Human Resources, a recipient shall apply, or be
nominated by a fellow employee to participate in the program. Medical certification from a
physician is required.
c.Application for participation would include name, social security number, classification,
department and estimated length of time needed to participate in the program.
d.By submission of the application or nomination the employee is aware the HR
department will post the request to County departments.
e.The department head and Human Resources shall review the merits of the request and
approve or disapprove.
f.Establishment of a leave “bank” for use by unnamed employees is expressly prohibited.
II.Participation Requirements
a.A donor may contribute annual leave or sick leave.
b.The minimum amount to be donated is four hours.
c.An employee shall have exhausted all available annual, sick, and comp leave to become
eligible to use donated leave.
d.The maximum amount of leave allowed to be donated by one individual is to be no more than
the amount of the individual’s annual accrual rate. However, the amount donated is not to
reduce the donor’s annual leave balance below one-half of the annual leave accrual rate.
e.Leave donated to a recipient’s leave account is exempt from the maximum accumulation
carry over restrictions at calendar year end.
An employee may not directly, indirectly, intimidate, threaten, coerce, or attempt to
intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other employee for the purpose of interfering with any right
which such employee may have with respect to donating, receiving, or using annual/sick
leave under this program. Such action by an employee shall be grounds for disciplinary
action up to and including dismissal on the basis of personal conduct. Individual leave
records are confidential and only individual employees may reveal their donation or receipt
of leave. The employee donating leave cannot receive remuneration for the leave donated.
III.Donor Leave Accounting and Usage Procedures
a.Donor forms will be returned to Human Resources. Each department shall maintain a
system of leave accountability which will accurately record leave donations and recipients
use. Such accounts shall provide a clear and accurate record for financial and
management audit purposes. Notes should be made on both recipient and donor
timesheets indicating participation in the program and amount of participation.
b.Withdrawals from recipient’s leave account will be charged to the recipient’s account
according to usual leave policies.
c.At the expiration of the medical condition, any unused donated leave will be returned to
the donors on a pro-rated basis. Each approved emergency medical condition shall
stand alone and donated leave not used in accordance with the above provisions shall
be considered as having served its purpose, shall lose its identity, and shall be deleted
and the account closed.
ARTICLE VIII. SEPARATION AND REINSTATEMENT
140
52
Section 1. Types of Separations
All separations of employees from positions in the service of the County shall be designated as one
of the following types and shall be accomplished in the manner indicated: Resignation, reduction in
force, disability, voluntary retirement, dismissal, or death.
Section 2. Resignation
An employee may resign by submitting the reasons for resignation and the effective date in writing
to the immediate supervisor as far in advance as possible. In all instances, the minimum notice
requirement is two weeks. A thirty-day notice is required for department heads. Failure to provide
minimum notice shall result in forfeit of payment for accumulated annual leave unless the notice is
waived upon recommendation of the Department Head, Human Resource Director and approval by
the County Manager. When a resignation is submitted, the Appointing or Hiring Authority may in its
sole discretion, make the decision to release the employee at any time prior to the end of the notice
given. In this event, the employee shall not be entitled to receive wage payments after the last day
actually worked.
Three consecutive days of absence without contacting the immediate supervisor or Department
Head is generally considered to be a voluntary resignation.
Sick leave will only be approved during the final two weeks of a notice with a physician’s certification
of comparable documentation.
Section 3. Reduction in Force
In the event that a reduction in force becomes necessary, consideration shall be given to the quality
of each employee's performance, organizational needs, and seniority in determining those
employees to be retained. Employees who are separated because of a reduction in force shall be
given at least two weeks’ notice of the anticipated action. No Regular employee shall be separated
while there are temporary, emergency or probationary employees serving in the same class in the
department, unless the Regular employee is not willing to transfer to the position held by the
temporary or probationary employee.
Section 4. Disability
An employee who cannot perform the essential functions of their position with or without a reasonable
accommodation because of a disability may be separated for disability. Action may be initiated by
the employee or the County. In all cases, such action must be accompanied by medical evidence
acceptable to the Department Head Human Resource Director and County Manager. The County
may require an examination, at the County's expense, performed by a physician of the County's
choice.
Section 5. Voluntary Retirement
141
53
An employee who meets the conditions set forth under the provision of the North Carolina Local
Government Employee's Retirement System may elect to retire and receive all benefits earned under
the retirement plan.
Section 6. Death
Separation shall be effective as of the date of death. All compensation due shall be paid to the estate
of the employee.
Section 7. Dismissal
An employee may be dismissed in accordance with the provisions and procedures of Article IX.
Section 8. Reinstatement
An employee who is separated because of reduction in force may be reinstated within five years of
the date of separation, upon recommendation of the supervisor and approval of the Human Resource
Director and the County Manager. An employee who is reinstated in this manner shall be re-credited
with his or her previously accrued sick leave.
Section 9. Rehiring
An employee who resigns while in good standing may be rehired with the approval of the Appointing
Hiring Authority, and shall be regarded as a new employee, subject to all of the provisions of rules
and regulations of this Chapter. However, the employee shall be credited with his or her previously
accrued sick leave if he or she is rehired within five years. If an employee is rehired within one year
of resigning, the annual leave accrual rate they previously had can be used.
142
54
ARTICLE IX. UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES, GROSSLY INEFFICIENT JOB
PERFORMANCE, AND UNACCEPTABLE PERSONAL CONDUCT
Please note that this policy does not apply to employees in the probationary period. In addition, to
the extent that this policy conflicts with the State Human Resources Act, this policy shall not apply
to employees subject to said Act.
Section 1. Disciplinary Action for Unsatisfactory Performance of Duties
A Regular employee may be placed on disciplinary suspension (without pay), demoted, or dismissed
for unsatisfactory job performance, if after following the procedure outlined below, the employee's
job performance is still deemed to be unsatisfactory. All cases of disciplinary suspension, demotion,
or dismissal must be approved by the Human Resource Director and the County Manager,
Appointing or Hiring authority prior to giving final notice to the employee.
Section 2. Unsatisfactory Performance of Duties Defined
Unsatisfactory job performance includes any aspects of the employee's job which are not performed
as required to meet the standards set by the supervisor. Examples of unsatisfactory job performance

Section 3. Communication and Warning Procedures Preceding Disciplinary Action for
Unsatisfactory Job Performance
When an employee's job performance is unsatisfactory, or when incidents or inappropriate actions
warrant, the supervisor should meet with the employee as soon as possible for a counseling session
and may issue a written warning to discuss specific performance problems. An employee whose job
performance is unsatisfactory over a period of time should receive at least two written warnings from
the supervisor, the last of which will notify the employee that failure to make the required performance
improvement may result in dismissal, before disciplinary action resulting in dismissal is taken by the
County Manager, Appointing or Hiring Authority. All written warnings will become a part of the
employee’s personnel file.
Section 4. Disciplinary Action for Unsatisfactory Performance of Duties
If the employee's performance continues to be unsatisfactory, and the employee has received at
least two written warnings as described above, then the supervisor should use the following
disciplinary steps:
a)A written recommendation from the Department Head should be sent to the Human
Resources Director, County Manager, Appointing or Hiring Authority for disciplinary action
such as suspension, demotion, or dismissal, and, if required, the employee should thereafter
be notified that a pre-disciplinary conference is being scheduled.
b)In the event the Department Head is the Appointing or Hiring Authority, a final written notice
should be from the Department Head to the employee to place them on notice that a pre-
disciplinary conference is being scheduled.
Section 5. Pre-Disciplinary Conference for Unsatisfactory Performance of Duties
Before disciplinary action is taken for unsatisfactory performance of duties, the County Manager,
Appointing or Hiring Authority, the Human Resources Director or a Department Head will conduct a
pre-disciplinary conference. At this conference, the employee may present any response to the
proposed disciplinary action to the County Manager, Appointing or Hiring Authority, Human Resource
Director or Department Head. This group will consider the employee’s response, if any, to the
proposed action, and will, no later than the end of the second business day following the pre-
disciplinary conference, notify the employee in writing of the final decision. If the employee is
dismissed, the notice shall contain a statement of the reasons for the action and the employee’s
appeal rights under the County’s grievance procedure.
Section 6. Unacceptable Personal Conduct Defined
Unacceptable personal conduct (previously and often referred to as “detrimental personal conduct”)
includes behavior of such a serious detrimental nature that the functioning of the County
144
56
may be or has been impaired; the safety of persons or property may be or have been threatened; or
the laws of the government may be or have been violated. The Unacceptable Personal Conduct
category is intended to be used for actions and behaviors exhibited for which no reasonable person
could, or should, expect to receive prior warnings.
Examples of unacceptable personal conduct include, but are not limited to, the following:
a)Job related conduct which constitutes violation of state or federal law, including but not
limited to acts of fraud or theft; or

falsification of any record for personal profit, or to grant special privileges; or
g)Insubordination which is the willful failure or refusal to carry out a reasonable order from
an authorized supervisor;
h)Absence from work after all authorized leave credits and benefits have been
exhausted; or
i)Grossly inefficient job performance.
For example only, willful violation of known or written work rules and conduct unbecoming an
employee that is detrimental to the agency's service may include:
1)Willful misuse or gross negligence in the handling of County funds; Willful or wanton damage
or destruction to property;
2)Willful or wanton acts that endanger the lives and property of others;
3)Possession of unauthorized firearms or other lethal weapons on the job;

management of a County department or agency that results in:
A.The potential for death or serious harm to a client(s), employee(s), members of the
public, or to a person over whom the employee has responsibility, or
B.The loss of, or damage to, County property or funds that results in a serious impact
on the County or department, or on the employee’s ability to function effectively
thereafter, or
C.Any other instances of job performance deficiencies that may constitute a gross
oversight in performance of duties.
This category is intended to be used in addressing failure in the performance of duties for which no
reasonable person could, or should, expect to receive prior warnings.
Section 7. Disciplinary Action for Unacceptable Personal Conduct
With the approval of the Department Head, Human Resources Director, and County Manager,
Appointing or Hiring Authority, an employee may be placed on disciplinary suspension (without
pay), demoted, or Dismissed without prior warning for causes relating to personal conduct
detrimental to County service in order to:
a)avoid undue disruption of work;
b)to protect the safety of persons or property; or
c)for other serious reasons.
Employees may be disciplined based on one instance of grossly inefficient job performance. The
duration for suspensions will be reviewed case by case.
Section 8. Pre-Disciplinary Conference for Unacceptable Personal Conduct.
Before disciplinary action is taken for unacceptable personal conduct the County Manager,
Appointing or Hiring Authority, the Human Resource Director or a Department Head will conduct a
pre-disciplinary conference. At this conference, the employee may present any response to the
proposed action to the County Manager, Appointing or Hiring Authority, Human Resource Director
or Department Head. This group will consider the employee's response, if any, to the proposed
action, and will, no later than the end of the second business following the pre-disciplinary
conference, notify the employee in writing of the final decision. If the employee is dismissed, the
notice shall contain a statement of the reasons for the action and the employee's appeal rights under
the County's grievance procedure.
Section 9. Non-Disciplinary Suspension
During the investigation, hearing, or trial of an employee on any criminal charge, during an
investigation related to an alleged disciplinary, harassment or discrimination issue, during the course
of any civil action involving an employee, or for any other reason when suspension would,
146
58
in the sole discretion of the County, be deemed in the best interest of the County, the Department
Head, with the approval of the Human Resource Director and the County Manager, Appointing or
Hiring Authority, may suspend the employee for the duration of the proceedings as a non- disciplinary
action. Such suspension may be paid or unpaid, in the sole discretion of the County. At the discretion
of the County, it may elect to allow the employee to use accrued paid leave during this suspension.
In such cases, the County may:
a)Temporarily relieve the employee of all duties and responsibilities and place the employee
on paid or unpaid leave for the duration of the suspension,
b)Assign the employee new duties and responsibilities and allow the employee to receive
such compensation as is in keeping with the new duties and responsibilities, or
c)Take any other actions necessary, as determined in the sole discretion of the County.
If the employee is reinstated following a suspension, such employee shall not lose any benefits to
which otherwise employee would have been entitled had the suspension not occurred. All benefits
with the exception of accrued annual leave and sick leave shall be maintained during the period of
suspension. However, it is in the sole discretion of the County as to whether the employee will receive
back-pay upon reinstatement after an un-paid non-disciplinary suspension. The duration for non-
disciplinary suspension may be up to 90 days at the discretion of the County Manager.

Section 4. Procedure
When an employee has a grievance, the following successive steps are to be taken unless otherwise
provided. The number of calendar days indicated for each step should be considered the maximum,
unless otherwise provided herein or required by the State Human Resources Act, and every effort
should be made to expedite the process. However, the time limits set forth may be extended by
mutual consent unless otherwise required by the State Human Resources Act. The last step initiated
by an employee shall be considered to be the step at which the grievance is resolved. A decision to
rescind a disciplinary suspension, demotion or dismissal must be approved by the Appointing or
Hiring Authority before the decision becomes effective.
Informal Resolution. Prior to the submission of a formal grievance, the employee and supervisor
should meet to discuss the problem and seek to resolve it informally. Either the employee or the
supervisor may involve the Human Resources Office as a resource to help resolve the grievance.
Unless otherwise required by the State Human Resources Act, mediation will not be a formal step
required during the informal resolution process.
Step 1. If no resolution to the grievance is reached informally, the employee who wishes to pursue
a grievance shall present the grievance to the supervisor in writing. The grievance must be presented
within fifteen calendar days of the event or within fifteen calendar days of learning of the event or
condition, or of written receipt of the notice of a disciplinary action, whichever occurs later. The
supervisor shall respond to the grievance within five work days after receipt of the grievance. The
supervisor should, and is encouraged to, consult with any employee of the County in order to reach
a correct, impartial, fair and equitable determination or decision concerning the grievance. Any
employee consulted by the supervisor is required to cooperate to the fullest extent possible.
The response from each supervisory level for each step in the formal grievance process shall be in
writing and signed and dated by the supervisor. In addition, the employee shall sign a copy to
acknowledge receipt thereof. The responder at each step shall send copies of the grievance and
response to the Human Resources Director.
Step 2. If the grievance is not resolved to the satisfaction of the employee by the supervisor, the
employee may appeal, in writing, to the Department Head within five work days after receipt of the
response from Step 1. The Department Head shall respond to the appeal, stating the determination
of decision within five work days after receipt of the appeal.
Step 3. (For general County employees only) If the grievance is not resolved to the satisfaction of
the employee by the Department Head, the employee may appeal, in writing, to the County Manager,
Appointing or Hiring Authority within five work days after receipt of the response from Step 2. The
Appointing or Hiring Authority shall respond to the appeal, may meet with the employee to discuss
the grievance fully, and will make a decision within ten calendar days. The Appointing or Hiring
Authority’s decision is final.
Special Note: The Sheriff and Register of Deeds, will carry out the responsibilities designated as
the County Manager in their respective departments.
Step 3. (For employees subject to the State Human Resources Act) If the grievance is not
resolved to the satisfaction of the employee by the Department Head, the employee may appeal the
decision to the North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) within thirty calendar days of
150
62
the receipt of the Department Head's decision. The findings of the OAH will be forwarded to the
State Personnel Commission. The decision of the State Personnel Commission shall be advisory
only and the Department Head shall have the final decision.
In conjunction with the County’s grievance policy as listed above, employees subject to the State
Human Resources Act which have complaints related to unlawful workplace harassment must submit
those complaints/allegations in writing to the Department Head within 30 calendar days of the alleged
harassing action, and the Department will be given 60 calendar days in which to take remedial action
(by using the informal resolution process listed above), unless otherwise waived pursuant to the Act.
Employees subject to the Act may elect to proceed through this Grievance policy, or to proceed
directly to the State Human Resources Commission (SHRC) for a hearing by the Office of
Administrative Hearings (OAH) on any grievance related to unlawful discrimination that does not
involve unlawful workplace harassment. A direct appeal to the SHRC must be filed within 30 calendar
days of receipt of notice of the alleged discriminatory act.
Department Heads. In the case of department heads or other employees where the Appointing or
Hiring Authority has been significantly involved in determining disciplinary action, including dismissal,
the Hiring Authority may wish to obtain a neutral outside party to either:
(a)provide mediation between the grieving department head and the Appointing or Hiring
Authority (see definition of mediation in informal resolution above); or
(b)consider the appeal and make recommendations back to the Appointing or Hiring Authority
concerning the appeal. Such parties might consist of human resource professionals,
attorneys, mediators, or other parties appropriate to the situation.
Department heads may also request the application of these special provisions.
The Appointing or Hiring Authority’s decision regarding the disposition of the grievance shall be the
final decision. The County Manager would notify the Board of Commissioners of any impending
legal action.
Section 5. Role of the Human Resources Director
Throughout the grievance procedure, the roles of the Human Resources Director shall be as
follows:
a)To advise parties (including employee, supervisors, and County Manager) of their rights and
responsibilities under this policy, including interpreting the grievance and other policies for
consistency of application;
b)To be a clearinghouse for information and decisions in the matter including maintaining files
of all grievance documents.
c)To give notices to parties concerning timetables of the process, etc.;
d)To facilitate the resolution of conflicts in the procedures or of the grievance at any step in the
process; and
e)To help locate mediation or other resources as needed.
151
63
The Human Resources Director shall also determine whether or not additional time shall be
allowed to either side in unusual circumstances if the parties cannot agree upon extensions when
needed or indicated.
Section 6. Specific Grievance and Adverse Action Appeal Procedure for Discrimination and/or
Harassment
When an employee, former employee, or applicant believes that any employment action
discriminates illegally (i.e. is based on age, sex, race, color, national origin, religion, creed, political
affiliation, disability or any other class protected by applicable law), or otherwise believes he or she
is subject to unlawful workplace harassment, he or she has the right to initiate a grievance pursuant
to this Policy. In the event the supervisor or department head is the subject of the employee’s
complaint, the employee has the right to bypass discussions with the alleged perpetrator, and may
appeal directly to the Human Resource Director and the County Manager. An employee or applicant
should appeal an alleged act of discrimination within thirty calendar days of the alleged discriminatory
action, but may appeal for up to six months following the action.

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: June 17, 2024
Agenda Title: ABC Board Request to Set Aside Additional Working Capital
Summary of Information: The Person County ABC Board requests to set aside up to $1 million of
additional working capital in a Capital Outlay fund over the next five years. North Carolina General
Statute 18B-805(d) allows for Alcoholic Beverage Control Boards to set aside a portion of gross
receipts as a fund for specific capital improvements. To do so requires approval from the appointing
authority. In this case, the Person County Board of Commissioners.
The ABC Board is actively searching for property within the Roxboro city limits to build a new
ABC store. The board intends for funding to be saved gradually, if there is additional funding
available (no more than $200,000 set aside each year), and spent gradually, as potential property
becomes available and negotiated, building permits acquired, and construction ensues.
The ABC Board is committed to continuing the current quarterly distributions of $55,000 ($220,000
annually) throughout this process. For reference, seven years of budget history is provided below.
The amount over or under $220,000 varies from year to year.

Dear Chairman Powell and fellow Commissioners,
This letter serves as a request to set aside up to $1 million of additional working capital in a Capital
Outlay fund over the next 5 years. The ABC Board is actively searching for property within Roxboro city
limits to build a new ABC store. We intend for this money to be saved gradually if there is additional
money available -no more than $200,000 set aside each year-and spe nt gradually as potential
property becomes available and negotiated, building permits acquired, and construction ensues. Some
money is saved currently, but approval of this request will allow the ABC Board to fund this project as
needed with upcoming budgets.
North Carolina General Statute 18B-805(d) allow for Alcoholic Beverage Control Boards to set aside a
portion of gross receipts as a fund for specific capital improvements. To do so requires approval from
the appointing authority. The Person County ABC Board is committe d to continuing the current
quarterly distributions of $55,000 throughout this process. Approval of this request will only impact the
fifth check the County receives periodically; the Board hopes to only use the excess funds for this budget
line item after all expenses are paid if there is additional money at the end of each year.
The current location on Madison Boulevard is the original ABC store in Person County, which opened in
1962. If given the opportunity to open a new store within Roxboro City limits, the ABC Board will be
able to better serve the community by offering more products at a more-convenient facility, and in turn,
generate more revenue to be distributed to Person County Government, local law enforcement, and
local Alcohol Education.
If approved, we request a letter confirming the Commissioners' approval, which will be sent to the NC
ABC Commission and our auditor. If you have any questions, feel free to contact board members or the
General Manager anytime.

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: June 17, 2024
Agenda Title: Retiree Health Insurance Policy
Overnight Supervision Incentive Pay Policy
Summary of Information: The Board of Commissioners requested a review of the Retiree Health
Insurance Policy. Staff will present possible options, along with a staff recommendation.
Social Services has been faced with the challenge of providing 24-hour care to juveniles at the office
due to a lack of placements to meet their needs. This 24-hour care is covered by employees on a
volunteer basis. Employees are paid for their time worked, but it is often difficult to staff these shifts
over an extended period of time. This proposed policy will provide a monetary incentive for
employees to volunteer their time outside of normally scheduled work hours.
Recommended Action: Approve recommended policy for Retiree Health Insurance and
proposed policy for the Overnight Supervision Incentive Plan.

Current Policy:Retiree health benefits are provided on the following pro-rated basis based on years of Continuous Employment with Person County:a) The County will pay 50% of the cost of comparable individual coverage for an employeeretiring with 20 years of Continuous Employment with Person County;b) The County will pay 75% of the cost of comparable individual coverage for an employeeretiring with 25 years of Continuous Employment with Person County;c) The County will pay 100% of the cost of comparable individual coverage for an employeeretiring with 30 years of Continuous Employment with Person County.ARTICLEVI. Section 5180
Staff Recommendation:•To keep the wording of “continuous” service in the policy.•Retention –"Continuous" service encourages employees to remain dedicated to Person County, as they know this benefit awaits them upon retirement, thus motivating them to stay committed.•Sustainability •We recommend having a conservative approach to this policy to ensure the County can sustain this benefit for years to come.•Current cost of health insurance: $1,140.20 monthly/$13,682.40 yearly•For example, an employee who retires at age 55 will receive health insurance coverage for 10 years at a cost to the County of (at today’s insurance rates):•30 years of employment = $136,824 plus claims•25 years of employment = $102,618 plus claims•20 years of employment = $68,412 plus claims181• Fa ca dicy.
Alternative OptionRetiree health benefits are provided on a pro-rated basis based on years of service with PersonCounty.If there is a break of service with the County, and the employee returns to work in lessthan one year in a full-time status, the County will combine the first and second full-timeemployment periods to qualify the employee for health insurance purposes. The secondemployment period must total a minimum of 5 years.a) The County will pay 50% of the cost of comparable individual coverage for an employeeretiring with 20 years of Continuous Employment with Person County;b) The County will pay 75% of the cost of comparable individual coverage for an employeeretiring with 25 years of Continuous Employment with Person County;c) The County will pay 100% of the cost of comparable individual coverage for an employeeretiring with 30 years of Continuous Employment with Person County.182
Questions?How would the Board like to proceed?183
DSS Overnight Supervision Incentive Plan•At times, Social Services must provide 24-hour care to juveniles at the office due to lack ofplacements to meet their needs.•Currently, employees volunteer for shifts to cover after-hours. For safety reasons, twoadults must be present at all times.•Non-exempt employees have the choice to be paid for their time or receivecompensatory time off (when in overtime status).•Exempt employees (mainly supervisors and others on the management team) do notreceive additional pay.184

Projects”);
WHEREAS, the Person County Financing Corporation (the “Corporation”) will assist the County
by issuing Limited Obligation Bonds (the “Bonds”) to finance the 2024 Projects;
WHEREAS, the Board hereby determines that it is in the best interests of the County to finance the
2024 Projects by (1) entering into an Installment Financing Contract (the “Contract”) with the Corporation

agreement and fixture filing (the “Deed of Trust”) related to the County’s fee simple interest in the real

(collectively, the “Mortgaged Property”), that will provide security for the County’s obligations under the
Contract;
WHEREAS, the Corporation will execute and deliver its Bonds in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed $22,000,000, evidencing proportionate undivided interests in rights to receive certain
Revenues (as defined in the Contract) pursuant to the Contract;
WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that financing the 2024 Projects is essential to the
County’s proper, efficient and economic operation and to the general health and welfare of its inhabitants;
that financing the 2024 Projects will provide an essential use and has and will permit the County to carry
out public functions that it is authorized by law to perform; and that entering into the Contract and Deed of
Trust is necessary and expedient for the County by virtue of the findings presented herein;
WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the Contract would allow the County to finance the
2024 Projects and take title thereto at a favorable interest rate currently available in the financial
marketplace and on terms advantageous to the County;
WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the estimated cost of financing the 2024 Projects,
including payment of the costs of execution and delivery, is an amount not to exceed $22,000,000 and that

unappropriated fund balances and non-voted bonds that could be issued by the County in the current fiscal
year pursuant to Article V, Section 4 of the Constitution of the State;
WHEREAS, although the cost of financing the 2024 Projects pursuant to the Contract is expected
to exceed the cost of financing the 2024 Projects pursuant to a bond financing for the same undertaking,
the County hereby determines that the cost of financing the 2024 Projects pursuant to the Contract and Deed
of Trust and the obligations of the County thereunder are preferable to a general obligation bond financing
or revenue bond financing for several reasons, including but not limited to the following: (1) the cost of a
special election necessary to approve a general obligation bond financing, as required by the laws of the
State, would result in the expenditure of significant funds; (2) the time required for a general obligation
bond election would cause an unnecessary delay which would thereby decrease the financial benefits of
financing the 2024 Projects; and (3) insufficient revenues are produced by the 2024 Projects so as to permit
a revenue bond financing;
WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the estimated costs of financing the 2024 Projects
pursuant to the Contract reasonably compares with an estimate of similar costs under a bond financing for
the same undertaking as a result of the findings delineated in the above preambles;
WHEREAS, the County anticipates that any future property tax increase, if necessary, to pay
installment payments falling due under the Contract will not be excessive;
189
PPAB 11058770v4
WHEREAS, the sums to fall due under the Contract will be adequate but not excessive for its
proposed purpose;
WHEREAS, Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, as bond counsel (“Bond Counsel”), will render

been censured by the North Carolina Local Government Commission (the “LGC”), external auditors or any
other regulatory agencies in connection with such debt management and contract obligation payment

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: June 17, 2024
Agenda Title: Funding Request for Person Industries and Material Recycling Facility (PI/MRF)
Special Revenue Fund
Summary of Information: Due to delayed revenue payments from Medicaid and the State for
services provided, unexpected expenditures, and increased personnel costs, I am requesting a fund
balance appropriation and transfer from the General Fund to supplement fund balance reserves in the
PI/MRF Fund until anticipated revenues are received.
Audit and governmental accounting standards require that funds maintain and report a surplus fund
balance at the end of a fiscal year in the annual audit to avoid a report finding by the County’s audit
firm. In order to avoid this finding, I am requesting funding support in the amount of $351,000 from
the General Fund as a bridge until anticipated revenues are received and recognized. Funds will be
returned to the General Fund as soon as PI/MRF Fund’s reserves are restored to a surplus state.
Recommended Action: Receive presentation and approve funding request.

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: June 17, 2024
Agenda Title: Tire and Mattress Shredding Proposal
Summary of Information: Due to damage caused to equipment by mattresses in the landfill,
Republic Services plans to implement a $250 fee per mattress. The fee will be a deterrent to adding
mattresses to the landfill. The City of Roxboro, private haulers, local furniture stores, and citizens
will be impacted by this change. Since being informed of these plans, county staff has been
evaluating various options for commercial and residential mattress disposal in Person County.
Staff has identified benefits and environmental sustainability/efficiency factors associated with
shredding mattresses and tires. The presentation will cover a variety of points, including strategies,
cost savings, increased revenue, and county/municipal/business partnerships.
Recommended Action: Review information and provide feedback as to the direction of project.

203
Tire and mattress shredding offers many benefits that
center around environmental sustainability and resource
efficiency. Within Person County, here are 3 top benefits:
Environmental Protection: Improper disposal of tires
and mattresses can lead to hazards such as fire risks,
breeding grounds for pests, and pollution of soil and
water. Shredding and recycling these items help
mitigate risks and protect the environment.
Job Creation: The recycling management of these
products create employment opportunities and
processing.
Cost Savings: Shredding tires and mattresses can
save municipalities and local businesses money by
reducing waste disposal costs (see page 7).
1Inrtroduction
204
To empower and assist individuals in achieving
their personal and vocation goals - to serve
Person County and their goal for waste reduction,
in the best possible way. Commitment and
support to these missions takes courage, work,
structure, and persistence. We are dedicated to
preserving our environment, protecting our future,
and keeping our county beautiful.
2Our Mission
205
Tire & Mattress shredding contribute to a more sustainable and
circular economy by turning waste into valuable resources and
minimizing the environmental impact.
While shredding tires and mattresses and sending them to the landfill
may seem counterintuitive, there are potential benefits to the
approach:
Reduces Volume: Shredding tires and mattresses before landfilldisposal can significantly reduce their volume. This means thatmore waste can be accommodated in the landfill, potentiallyextending its life span and delaying the need for new landfill sites.Improved Landfill Compaction: Shredded materials compact moreefficiently in the landfill, allowing for better use of available spaceand reducing the likelihood of settlement and instability issues. Prevention of Illegal Dumping: Tires and mattresses are sometimesillegally dumped in areas that can pose environmental hazardsand create eyesores. Shredding these items before landfilldisposal can make them less attractive for illegal dumping due tothe reduced bulk and inconvenience of handling shreddedmaterials.Mitigation of Fire Risks: Whole tires, in particular, can pose a firehazard in landfills due to the composition and ability to trap andhold heat. Shredding tires can reduce this risk by increasing airflowand reducing the likelihood of spontaneous combustion.
Landfills are finite resources - every effort will be made to minimize theamount of waste sent to them through reduction, reuse, and recyclinginitiatives. Recycling these materials is preferable, as it conservesresources, reduces energy, and minimizes environmental impacts.

There are regulations from the state surrounding tire recycling.
§ 130A-309.58. Disposal of scrap tires includes (5) Chopping or
shredding; Landfilling of whole scrap tires is prohibited.
§ 130A-309.54. Use of scrap tire tax proceeds - A county may use
proceeds of the tax distributed to it under that Article only for the
disposal of scrap tires pursuant to the provisions of this Part.
There are benefits to consider:
Partnership with surrounding counties - Units of local government
may enter into joint ventures or other cooperative efforts with other
units of local government for the purpose of disposing of scrap
tires (we can charge reduced fees for taking tires from other
counties)
Cost Efficient Strategies Local Government Scrap Tire Program
There is a financial burden for the handling, transportation, and
disposal of scrap tires. In the interest of being financially
resourceful, the Solid Waste Section would like local governments
to consider the following cost-effective strategies for the
management of scrap tires, best practices: Lacing, Documentation,
Consolidation, Transportation, and Scheduling (PCRC follows all
best practice guidelines).
Considerations
NCDEQ advises against shredding for marketable product.

There are benefits to consider:
Partnership with Republic Services
Cost savings for Person County Businesses (fees from Republic)
Shredding Mattress and box springs significantly reduces its
volume by breaking it down into smaller pieces. This allows us to
maximize the use of available landfill space.
PCRC Shredder eliminates ware, tear, and breakage to equipment
at landfill
Cost Efficient Strategies
Fee schedule per mattress and box spring necessary to cover cost
associated with implementing and maintaining shredder disposal
system.
There would be a financial burden for the handling, transportation,
and disposal of mattress set by Republic Services on county
businesses and local government entities.
Considerations
Republic Services has confirmed acceptance of shredded material
Shredding mattresses and box springs have proven to be highly
effective and beneficial
Future resources: shredded mattress and box spring materials
have the potential for recycling or repurposing. Some components,
like metal springs and wood frames, can be separated and
recycled as valuable resources

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: June 17, 2024
Agenda Title: Person County Business and Industrial Center (PCBIC) Structure
Summary of Information: Person County Business and Industrial Center, Inc. (PCBIC), Person
County's nonprofit economic development corporation, promotes the growth and expansion of new
and existing business and industry in Person County and works in close cooperation with other
entities engaged in similar efforts. The business and property of the Corporation is managed and
controlled by a Board of Directors made up of the voting members of the Person County Economic
Development Commission (the "EDC") as appointed by the Person County Board of
Commissioners.
Although Person County created PCBIC many years, the two operate as separate legal entities, with
the County’s oversight being limited to appointing PCBIC Board members. The President has
general charge and supervision of the affairs of the Corporation and performs such other duties as
may be assigned to him by the Board of Directors. The By-Laws of PCBIC are attached for
reference.
PCBIC requested FY24 and FY25 funding from the Board of Commissioners to support its
operations. County funding totaling $82,800 was approved over the two fiscal years.
The PCBIC Board of Directors has begun discussions regarding how to establish itself as an
independent and self-sufficient nonprofit board.
Recommended Action: Discuss the structure of PCBIC and provide recommendations to the
PCBIC Board of Directors, as requested.
