title
PUBLIC HEARING - Ordinance to amend Code Section 2.100.235
Intent to adopt an Ordinance amending Title 2 (Administration and Personnel) Article III (Terms of Employment) and amending language in Chapter 2, Section 100.235 (Administrative leaves of absence with pay) of the Napa County Code regarding giving the Director of Human Resources additional authority to grant paid leaves of absence.
body
BACKGROUND
The draft ordinance proposes to amend Napa County Code 2.100.235 to increase the amount of time the Human Resources Director can grant employees paid leaves of absence. This section is typically used when employees are involved in matters requiring an investigation. Currently, employees may be placed on an administrative leave of absence with pay for up to three workdays by the Department Head with approval from the Human Resources Division and 20 additional workdays may be granted by the Department Head with the approval of the County Executive Officer for a total of 23 workdays. Further extensions require Board approval.
This request allows for employees to be placed on an administrative leave of absence with pay for up to three workdays, with authority given to the Director of Human Resources to grant an additional 60 days leave of absence. The Director of Human Resources can grant an additional 30 days leave of absence with approval from the County Executive Officer. Further extensions continue to require this Board's approval. The requested amendment allows for those handling the investigation to determine an appropriate amount of leave and reduces the amount of administrative work required to request extensions.
