Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve a temporary increase in the weekly work hours of a current temporary part-time employee to authorize said position to work as a temporary full-time position (without benefits) as needed to off-set increased demands for public services triggered by the absence a regular full-time employee out on “leave-without-pay” under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Funding to be provided through the payroll savings of the Administrative Assistant (Slot #1292) currently out on “leave-without-pay” status. Said action is effective immediately and will revert upon the return of the Administrative Assistant to regular, full-time duty.

Issue: A department staff member is currently out on leave-without-pay under FMLA causing a critical disruption and backlog of office and administrative functions.

Solution: Allow the current part-time employee to work full-time temporarily as needed to off-set the public service demands until such time as the regular, full-time staff member returns to regular, full-time duty.

Result: If approved, the increased workloads and interruptions to departmental operations prompted by the absence of the Administrative Assistant will be lessened without additional financial burden.
