Officials balk at proposed sick time payout change
Elyria Lorain County Commissioner Tom Williams faced limited support Wednesday for altering unused sick time payout rules. The proposal would cap at 240 hours for all workers, requiring fourfold accrual to reach that amount, with a potential savings from $1.5 million to about $300,000 over five years. County Administrator Jim Cordes called it a raw deal for employees. Commissioner Lori Kokoski noted existing benefit reductions through higher health care contributions and wage adjustments.
