CHAPTER 3
HUMAN RESOURCES
ARTICLE VI - LEAVE TIME BENEFITS
Amend Sec. 3-6-40. COVID-19 Leave Policy.
A. On March 18, 2020, President Trump signed the recently passed Families First Coronavirus
Response Act (FFCRA), effective April 2, 2020. The FFCRA affects how the County provides
sick leave for COVID-19 impacted employees and determines COVID-19 eligibility and
procedures related to the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). These are temporary changes
to sick leave policies and FMLA law during the COVID-19 event. This policy does not apply
to employees of the following Departments or Offices: Health Department, Buildings and
Grounds Department, Child Welfare Caseworkers, Adult Protection Caseworkers, Coroner's
Office, Public Safety Communications Department, Office of Emergency Management, Public
Works Department, Sheriff's Office, and Work Release.
B. Except as described above. this policy covers allfull and part-time employees.
C. — No change.
2020-1089
D. COVID-19 Emergency Sick Leave Rules are as follows:
1. The COVID-19 leave category allows paid leave of up to 80 hours (prorated for part-time
employees) for an employee's COVID-19 related absence at their current rate of pay. An
employee may use this category for his or her first 80 hours of COVID-19 related leave.
After exhaustion of this COVID-19 leave category an employee who is unable to perform
his or her work from home or work must use their sick leave, vacation, accrued comp time
or personal leave days. If an employee is sick or caring for a sick family member, the
employee may go into negative sick leave up to 160 hours.
2. and 3. — No change.
E. — No change.
F. As stated above, Health Department, Buildings and Grounds Department, Child Welfare
Caseworkers, Adult Protection Caseworkers, Coroner's Office, Public Safety Communications
Department, Office of Emergency Management, Public Works Department, Sheriff's Office,
and Work Release are excluded from COVID-19 provisions under the federal law. However,
the County interprets this exclusion to apply only for employees not under an isolation or
quarantine order and not exhibiting possible symptoms. Meaning, mission -critical employees
may access COVID-19 leave for the first 80 hours if they are sick with COVID-19 related
symptoms, the sole caregiver for a dependent family member with COVID-19 symptoms,
under a quarantine order or isolation order, but not for childcare purposes. Elected Officials
or Department Heads of exempt departments and offices may require a note from a physician
or copy of an isolation or quarantine order.
This policy shall remain in effect until December 31, 2020.
BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED by the Board that an emergency exists, inasmuch as the Weld
County Health Officer has issued a Declaration of Pandemic Health Emergency, pursuant to
Colorado Revised Statutes and Section 14-10-10 of the Weld County Code; therefore, this
Ordinance is declared to be an Emergency Ordinance under the provisions of Section 3-14 of the
Weld County Home Rule Charter.
BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED by the Board that the Clerk to the Board be, and hereby is,
directed to arrange for Municode to supplement the Weld County Code with the amendments
contained herein, to coincide with chapters, articles, divisions, sections, and subsections as they
currently exist within said Code; and to resolve any inconsistencies regarding capitalization,
grammar, and numbering or placement of chapters, articles, divisions, sections, and subsections
in said Code.
BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED by the Board, if any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence,
clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held or decided to be unconstitutional, such
decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions hereof. The Board of County
Commissioners hereby declares that it would have enacted this Ordinance in each and every
section, subsection, paragraph. sentence, clause, and phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that
any one or more sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases might be
declared to be unconstitutional or invalid.
