Carroll lays out policy on county layoffs in deficit year
Carroll County commissioners have drafted a layoff policy amid a 5 million shortfall and proposed 27 cent property tax rise. Up to 25 positions could be cut with 108 possible without tax hike. A 55 year old with 15 years may retire early. Layoffs use a five year performance and seniority point system and include interview rights for reorganized departments. Employees to be let go receive 30 days’ notice and may apply for vacancies within a year.
