Cherokee County OKs time-and-a-half or flex pay for employees who worked Christmas Eve and Dec. 26

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 29 approved a holiday-pay policy for county employees who worked Christmas Eve and Dec. 26, authorizing time-and-a-half pay or flexible compensatory time at the discretion of department heads. Commissioner Myra Carlisle Frazier moved the measure; Commissioner Jack Garner seconded and the minutes record the motion as "passed unanimously."

The action covers work performed on the two specified dates but the meeting minutes do not list which job classifications or departments will be affected, whether the change will draw from a particular payroll line, or when any payments will be processed. County officials present included Assistant County Counselor Ethan Manke and Road and Bridge Supervisor Cody Zook. The minutes note the vote as "Motion passed unanimously" but do not provide an individual roll-call tally.
