Danville territory adopts updated policy manual and caps comp-time carryover at 48 hours
Summary
The board approved revisions to the department policy manual to replace town/township references and adopted a comp-time carryover cap of 48 hours; overtime is required once an employee exceeds that cap.
S1 presented revisions to the policy manual to align language with the new fire territory and remove prior references to the town or township. He said administrators had cleaned up wording about reporting lines so that department employees report to the territory rather than the town manager.
S1 described negotiations with the union over time-off and proposed a maximum comp-time carryover of 48 hours. “It’s a 48 hours as a maximum carryover on comp time,” S1 said, explaining that once an employee hits that cap they cannot accrue further comp time and subsequent work must be paid as overtime to avoid large, unbudgeted carryovers.
A motion to adopt the revised policy manual and the comp-time limit was moved and seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote with ayes recorded and no opposition noted.
S1 said the change is intended to limit long-term budgeting exposure from large comp-time balances that would be difficult to pay out if an employee with significant accrued comp-time left service at higher future salaries.
No additional details on implementation dates beyond the adoption at this meeting were offered; S1 said administrators will finalize and circulate the cleaned-up manual language.
