(Atlantic) The Cass County Treasurer’s Office has posted new reduced hours due to staffing shortages. Five employees have resigned in the last eight weeks. One more employee is scheduled to retire next month.
Cass County Board of Supervisors Chairman Steve Baier asks for the public’s patience while new staff is getting hired.
The new hours are 8 a.m. to 12:30 and then closed from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and back open from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. with the exception of Tuesdays when they are closed all day.
KSOM/KS95 Radio reached out to Cass County Treasurer Tracey Marshall:
“Sometimes change happens unexpectedly, over the last few months, we have been losing staff. I have hired one new staff member and interviewed several others, waiting for the posting time period and approval. I have always had a good relationship with my staff. It’s been a bit stressful with many changes from federal and state mandates, along with county conflicts. My staff has been recruited by other companies with better-paying positions and more flexible for their families. I support each one of them for their dedication while they worked here and there on new adventures. As you know the workforce is changing everywhere. I hear it every day from other counties and businesses. I am very proud of my accomplishments, including the presidency of the state association. We are working on finding and training employees.
