and service increment rate at the time of call-up, plus any merit increases or service increment changes
which could be scheduled if the employee were actively working at the County. The supplement will equal
the employee’ compensation, less the employee’s total military pay for the period for which the
supplement is being computed.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the County to
provide, through December 31, 2007, the medical benefits of dependents of employees currently called to
active duty, so that they will receive the normal medical benefits retroactive back to the date of the
employee’s military call-up.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Personnel Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
PERSONNEL COMMITTEE
FISCAL NOTE (MISC. #06209)
BY: Finance Committee, Chuck Moss, Chairperson
IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES – AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY TO SUPPLEMENT PAY AND PROVIDE
MEDICAL BENEFITS FOR DEPENDENTS OF EMPLOYEES CALLED TO ACTIVE MILITARY DUTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule #XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the above referenced
resolution and finds:
1. It is requested that supplemental pay and medical benefits of dependents for employees
called to active duty be authorized effective from the date of their military call-up through
December 31, 2007.
2. Currently, there are two (2) FTE County employees serving active duty in the military, at a
total bi-weekly supplemental cost of $1,034.94.
3. The estimated time of service for the two employees ranges from 24 to 35 months, and it is
estimated the total cost to the County will be $32,284.79 in supplemental pay.
4. Due to the fact the County budget for salary and fringe benefits is an amount equal to “full-
employment”, sufficient funds should be available within the departments’ budget to cover the
expense for employees called to active duty. However, should a department require
temporary replacement personnel on an emergency basis to continue standard operations,
additional funding may be required.
5. At this time, no budget amendment is required.
