Winamac Town Council Members Approve Revisions to Salary Ordinance and Employee Handbook

Winamac Town Council members considered two ordinances that would revise their Salary Ordinance and Employee Handbook for 2019 when they met Monday night.

Clerk-Treasurer Melanie Berger explained that one of the amendments had to do with the salary for the Wastewater Foreman since it was initially listed incorrectly.

Additionally, since board members decided at their final meeting of 2018 to switch the half-days on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve into full days off, those changes were reflected in the proposed revisions.

Berger went on to share one other change that was up for board consideration.

She explained, “In the bereavement section, we added step grandfather and step grandmother. There’s step children, step grand children, so we added the grandparents to keep that uniform.”

The revised Salary Ordinance and the revised Employee Handbook were unanimously approved by board members in two separate motions.
