Merit Appeals Board <br />September 15, 2021 <br />it's related to any employee that might come into close contact, we issue five days of <br />administrative leave. <br />So when we—if you're talking about abuse among our employees, we're very vigilant with the <br />distribution of admin. leave because, yes, we would anticipate abuse with admin. leave. But we <br />would address it as long as it's brought to our attention. <br />With regard to this emergency proclamation, it's more of a non-compliance issue where <br />employees are being blatant about non-compliance. Part of the package that DHR had to issue <br />was a tracking log for each and every one of our employees in the County. <br />So, we are tracking each of our employees status weekly. And if there were any abuses, it would <br />be identified at least weekly where we would address it with that department. Fortunately, all of <br />our departments with the help of our managing director, have been compliant with following-up <br />and implementing discipline, as needed. <br />So, where we have non-compliance, our departments are very responsive in issuing discipline. <br />And, again, that goes back to us trying to be consistent with the rest of the jurisdictions and being <br />consistent among the—Countywide—so that if there's any litigation in the future, we can show <br />that we were consistent in applying the policies and procedures. So, that's kind of a long <br />answersorry, Mr. Kunz, but we do have tracking in place to address any non-compliance <br />issues. <br />MR. KUNZ: Thank you. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: You're welcome. Any further questions? <br />CHR. CABANAS: Not from me not from the Chair. Anyone else have questions for the <br />director? <br />MS. MATHEWS: Yes, actually this is Gay Mathews. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Sure. <br />MS. MATHEWS: Could I backup to the 2016 audit. I apologize, I've only been on the Board <br />since the beginning of the year. <br />So, do I understand correctly there has not been another audit since the 2016? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: That's correct. <br />MS. MATHEWS: Okay. So, therefore, this would be in five years, in theory—all of the items <br />that were recognized by the audit should have been addressed. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Correct. <br />Page 18 <br />
