Discussion and possible action to approve the proposed revision to the Webb County Personnel Policies, Section 6.20 "Transfer of Grant Employees to Non-Grant Funded Positions." This revision clarifies that accrued leave (vacation, sick, personal, and wellness days) cannot be transferred from grant-funded to non-grant-funded positions and must be paid from the grant when allowed; otherwise, it is forfeited. Departments are responsible for managing leave and ensuring compliance with grant requirements. Issue: The current policy does not fully address the financial and compliance risks associated with transferring employees from grant-funded positions to non-grant-funded positions. Solution: Revise Personnel Policies Section 6.20 to manage leave transfers, grant payouts, forfeitures, and federal compensatory time compliance. Result: Approval of the revised policy will clarify leave transfer rules, reduce financial and compliance risks, and ensure adherence to grant and federal requirements.
