Request for authorization to pay 13.0 hours compensatory time for Sandra Hemenway who transferred to Division of Environmental Quality on February 6, 2000. Sandra worked extra hours her last two weeks to alleviate the workload for her replacement and was unable to take the hours off.
Bruce Krosch reported Sandra Hemenway has transferred to another state agency and they would like to pay the 13.0 hours accrued during her last two weeks.

Bruce stated Sandra was working on a critical water program that required her completion before she left. Ben Ysursa made a motion to recommend approval on the Consent Agenda because of emergency and unusual circumstances. David High seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. It was decided a memorandum will be sent from the State Controller advising state agencies of the Idaho Code §67-5329 statute.
