GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- County Prosecutor David Leyton has an idea for easing the burden on assistants who he believes are overworked and underpaid -- letting some of them work from home. Leyton last week asked the county Board of Commissioners to allow for at-home work, something county employees haven’t been able to do since May 2021. The prosecutor is the co-employer of those who work in his office, sharing that responsibility with commissioners. The county Prosecutor’s Office has about 40 assistants but has lost about five so far this year and Leyton said he’s having trouble finding good applicants to replace them. He asked commissioners to set aside concerns over technological obstacles and allow him to get started with a program that would allow much of his employees’ work to be off-site.
