Employee Handbook

At the Board of Supervisors’ Meeting this morning, 4 Jun 2012, the Board approved the new Employee Handbook. Yes!!!!


One Supervisor asked about the Moonlighting requirements. This section was read aloud and it was essentially the same policy as was contained in the 2003 Handbook. The District 2 Supervisor asked if this was legal. He was told by the Board’s Attorney that this requirement was legal. Next, the District 2 Supervisor asked if this requirement was fair and proposed to the Board that they have a “gentleman’s agreement” not to enforce this part of the Employee Handbook. This statement was followed by laughter from the Board and the audience.

So, here’s the deal Mr. District 2 Supervisor: Do you still have Tunica County Employees working in your place of business? Then get the letters written and bring them before the Tunica County Board of Supervisors for approval of their Moonlighting employment. Right now, you are out of compliance with the 2003 AND the 2012 Tunica County Employee Handbook.
