Upper Hanover adopts temporary COVID-19 employee exposure policy, limits consecutive days
Summary
The board adopted Resolution No. 2022-09 establishing a COVID-19 Employee Exposure Policy that grants up to 10 paid COVID sick days (no more than five consecutive), subject to solicitor and manager final review and annual review; the policy is revocable and must be used in the award year.
The Upper Hanover Township Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2022-09 on Jan. 11, 2022 to implement a temporary COVID-19 Employee Exposure Policy. Under the adopted policy, employees may receive up to 10 paid sick days for COVID-19 illness or for quarantine following direct contact with a positive case; no employee may use more than five consecutive COVID days. The paid COVID leave is in addition to the township's regular paid sick leave, must be used in the award year, and will not be paid out if unused.
Mr. Woodward moved to adopt Resolution No. 2022-09 subject to final review by the township solicitor and manager. Mr. Fiorito seconded the motion; the board approved the resolution 5-0. The board recorded that the policy may be revoked at any time and will be reviewed annually.
Why it matters: The policy provides a short-term sick-leave mechanism to cover COVID-related absences for township employees while preserving the structure of the township's regular personnel policies. The adoption was procedural and contingent on final legal review.
