Village Board Approves Comprehensive Update to Employee Personnel Manual
MANHATTAN – The Village of Manhattan has updated its employee personnel manual for the first time since 2018, adopting a series of amendments to formalize policies and reflect current practices.
The Village Board unanimously approved the ordinance on Tuesday. The update consolidates several policy changes that the board had previously approved separately and introduces new guidelines for village staff.
According to a memo from Village Administrator Jeff Wold, the amended sections include policies on vacation and holiday pay for part-time employees, as well as travel per diem rates. These changes had already been approved by the board but are now officially incorporated into the manual.
Additionally, the revised manual introduces new policies regarding employee dress code and meal periods. It also adds new acknowledgement letters that employees must sign, covering their understanding of policies related to harassment, the chain of command, and social media use.
The updated manual was reviewed by the village attorney before being presented to the board for approval. The ordinance codifies the new and existing rules into a single, comprehensive document for all village employees.
