Highland Township complied with the
March 24th order and 18 employees
stayed at home until Highland Township
reopened on June 15, 2020. Of those 18
employees, most positions are front line
customer service / clerical positions that
did not have the capability to work
remotely. Employees that needed to
complete essential tasks such as
processing tax bills, building permits,
accounts payable, cash receipting,
board agendas and meeting notices
scheduled a time to come into the office
when no one else was present. The "one
person" in the building schedule was an
effort to further protect staff from COVID
19. All employees continued to receive
their regular salary during this time. We
estimated 25%of our employee's hours
were spent working on the above -
mentioned essential tasks. Highland
employees were not setup for remote
computer access to work remotely. We
are requesting reimbursement under the
CARES Act for 75% of the wages and
related payroll costs for employees who
were paid but could not report to work.
The total submitted for unbudgeted
administrative leave during the COVID
shutdown is 151,011,62.
