Status report with discussion and possible action on the compensation of a 15 year longevity pay awarded by Commissioners Court to a group of employees on August 13, 2001 which is still pending settlement; and any other matters incident thereto. [Executive session is requested pursuant to Texas government Code Title 5, Subchapter D, Section 551.071 (Consultation with Attorney) and Section 551.074 (Personnel matters)]
Issue: Webb County employees that were awarded longevity pay subsequently transferred to other positions within Webb County. The possibility exists that the longevity pay was not applied as initially instructed by Commissioners Court.
Solution: The Auditor’s office has to audit the payroll records of these employees and determine the amount each is owed. Then each employee should be paid as approved by past Commissioners Court.
Result: Determine and approve final back pay payments that are owed.
