Overtime for municipal employees has become a topic of discussion in several municipalities in Tallapoosa County – is it paid or not and if so to whom seems to be the question.
The New Site Council voted Tuesday night to pay five employees $17,827 for overtime accrued over the last two years but no overtime was approved for the public safety director after being told that police chiefs weren’t eligible for overtime. The council did vote to pay the current Public Safety Director John McKelvey for half of his accrued overtime upon his scheduled retirement sometime before Oct. 1.
