Litchfield Utilities Commission caps vacation buyback at 50 hours
Summary
At its Sept. 18 meeting the Litchfield Utilities Commission approved a revision to the personnel policy that limits employees’ annual vacation cash‑out to a maximum of 50 hours.
The Litchfield Utilities Commission on Sept. 18 approved a change to its personnel policy that caps the amount of vacation an employee may cash out each year at 50 hours.
Commissioners approved the revision after staff explained the change was intended to limit cash‑outs for employees who had accrued extra leave under a prior policy change. Under the revision employees may cash out either 40 hours or 25% of their vacation leave in a calendar year, whichever is greater, but not to exceed 50 hours total in that year.
The change was included as a revision to the commission’s personnel policy and was distributed to commissioners in advance. Commissioner Blaine made the motion to approve the revision; Commissioner Alley seconded it, and the measure passed by voice vote.
The commission’s materials note the cap was added because some employees carried over balances that, under the previous formula, would have allowed cash‑outs larger than the intended annual limit. The policy language distributed to commissioners was attached to the meeting packet.
