Title

A RESOLUTION CONCERNING EXEMPT EMPLOYEES - SALARY PLAN for the purpose of amending the Salary Plan to provide for a certain pay benefit for exempt service and at-will employees.

 

Background

This legislation provides for a certain severance pay benefit for eligible exempt service and at-will employees.  If an exempt service and at-will employee is involuntarily separated from employment with no cause provided by the appointing authority or by a mandatory resignation associated with the change of executive or legislative administration, they may be eligible for a severance pay benefit.  The rate of severance will be based on the length of service with the County, with a maximum severance of twelve weeks allowed.  Elected officials would not be eligible for severance pay.
