A second employee complaint has been filed against the Wood County Health District administrator placed on leave last week following allegations of harassment and creating a hostile work environment.
Bill Ault, director of administration, has been on leave with pay since Aug. 29, when an account clerk he supervises, Sarah Hopple, made the initial complaint suggesting Ault has a temper when speaking with employees and that he threatened her recent promotion for speaking up.
The new complaint, submitted Friday and released as a public record Tuesday, supports Hopple's claims about Ault having anger problems and addresses inappropriate comments about the other employee's appearance.
