The Gloucester County Board of Supervisors approved an additional four hours of holiday leave for county staff on Christmas Eve 2025.
A board member moved to authorize county employees to have the additional four hours off on Dec. 24 so staff could be with family or travel as needed. The motion was seconded and carried after members answered in the affirmative during roll-call-style acknowledgement.
Board members noted that state action on similar leave has lagged and said the local allowance would be appreciated by staff.
Why it matters: The change affects county employee schedules and payroll practices for the holiday period and reflects local policy decisions where state guidance is absent.
What’s next: County administration will implement the leave for the 2025 holiday schedule per the board’s approval and notify staff of the change.
