Overtime And County Wages Face Committee Considerations Monday

The Human Resources Committee of the McHenry County Board is expected to have some tough discussions at a Monday morning meeting. Two topics are scheduled for continuing discussion: overtime use and Fiscal Year 2011 employee wages.

The concern as expressed at previous Committee meetings is that the balanced budget as previously worked out does not provide for all the wage expenditures the County is facing for the following year. There is no control over the expenditures for union positions. It should be noted that not all employees are union affiliated, even within departments.

During a prior discussion it was noted that the annual benefit cost for each full-time employee is $14,000.

The Committee meeting begins at 8:15 a.m. in the County Board Conference Room of the County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.
