Funeral Leave
by Valerie Meyerson 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Hi there - We are updating our Personnel Policies and are reviewing our Funeral Leave practices. This is currently what our policy states: All employees shall be granted a 3-day funeral leave with pay for in state funerals and 5 day funeral leave with pay for out of state funerals, upon the death of an immediate family member (mother/father, mother & father-in-law, spouse, child, sibling, brother & sister-in-law, aunt or uncle). Additional time may be granted as personal leave without pay, or unused vacation time or personal leave may be granted. My Board is wondering how we would handle step relatives. Seems understandable to want to include step-parents and siblings. Does anyone else out there offer funeral leave for steps? If so, would you please share your wording and or other practices? Thank you - Valerie Meyerson, Library Director Petoskey District Library Please think about the environment prior to printing this email.

Update on Penal Fines
by Webb, Kathy (MDE) 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Good morning, I hope that penal fines have made their way to your library. I do have news that Saginaw and Wayne counties have/or are in the process of issuing checks. I have not heard from the following county Treasurers: Baraga, Chippewa, Emmet, Gladwin, Kalamazoo, Keweenaw, Manistee, Mecosta & Muskegon Counties. This does not mean that they didn't distribute fines, it means that I have not received their reporting that is due September 1, 2018. If you are in any of these counties and have received your fines, please email me at webbk1(a)michigan.gov<mailto:webbk1@michigan.gov>. I would love to know. Thanks!
