North Quincy Project Signed |
|
|
|
Last week, Plumas National Forest Supervisor Chris Carlton signed the North Quincy Forest Resiliency Project (North Quincy Project) Decision Notice, the third within the Community Protection and Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscape identified on the Plumas in January 2023. The project is for critical fuel reduction on approximately 8,987 acres of National Forest System Lands on the Mount Hough Ranger District in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) around Quincy, American Valley, Butterfly Valley, Keddie and other nearby communities. This includes homes along Chandler Road and in the South Park area. Analysis for this project was done in partnership with Feather River RCD. Sierra Nevada Conservancy's Regional Forest and Fire Capacity Program provided approximately $782,000 to Feather River RCD to fund the planning effort. Additionally, the Plumas National Forest obligated approximately $4 million in Wildfire Crisis Strategy funding to the RCD to prepare for and start implementation of high priority fuels reduction work. More information will be shared as work begins, including what area residents and visitors can expect as work starts in the forest.
Sharing the full news release with more information, as well as some photos from last fall's prescribed burning in Butterfly Valley. Prescribed burning is among the treatments that will be used to further critical fuel reduction for community protection. |

Is it Poor Attendance or is it Protected Leave? |
|
| |
A common, but often frustrating dilemma for HR professionals and managers occurs when an employee is experiencing attendance issues for a variety of reasons. For example, one day your employee missed work due to car trouble, on another occasion they were late because they were not feeling well, and yet another time they missed work due to a vague personal emergency.
Managers must often navigate through muddy attendance waters and be careful not to take action against an employee based on a legally protected leave. One common mistake managers make is lumping all absences together and using that as a reason to discipline an employee for “poor attendance,” without taking each absence on a case-by-case basis to determine protected status.
