Council asks attorney to add paid-time-off language to 2019 salary ordinance
Summary
Middletown council discussed overtime rules for the proposed 2019 Salary Ordinance and directed the town attorney to draft language specifying that paid time off counts toward the 40-hour threshold used to determine overtime; the wording will appear in the proposed ordinance for a vote at the next meeting.
The Middletown Town Council continued debate on overtime rules for the proposed 2019 Salary Ordinance at its May 15 meeting and directed Town Attorney Joel Harvey to draft specific language.
Council President Jake Smith instructed Harvey to add wording in the employee manual and benefits section specifying that paid time off will count toward the 40-hour work threshold used to determine eligibility for overtime pay. The minutes indicate that the instruction is procedural: the drafted language will be included in the proposed 2019 Salary Ordinance and brought back to the council for a vote at the next meeting.
No final vote on the ordinance language occurred at this session. The change, if adopted, would affect how the town calculates overtime for employees by treating paid leave as hours worked for overtime-threshold purposes.
