Discussion and possible action to authorize the temporary conversion of an existing part-time employee into a temporary full-time position (without benefits) to replace an employee who is out on Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) without pay; authorization to transfer adequate payroll savings from Slot 2007-1070-1292 (Admin. Asst.) to 2007-1070-5005 (Part-time) as necessary to fund the additional payroll expense at the current rate of pay of $10.00 per hour for an additional 20 hours per week; said authorization to be effective immediately and terminates upon the return of the regular full-time employee.
Issue: The department’s Administrative Assistant is currently out on “leave without pay” under FMLA causing a critical disruption and backlog of office and administrative functions.
Solution: A temporary employee is needed to fulfill the duties of the Administrative Assistant until such time as the Administrative Assistant returns to work.
Result: If approved, a temporary employee will allow for the continuation of workflow of the Administrative Assistant’s duties; thereby, reducing the interruption in office operations.
