Board amends personnel policy: DPW comp time cap raised to 40 hours; dispatch cap lowered to 100
Summary
The Village Board unanimously approved an amendment to the Personnel Policy that increases the Department of Public Works comp-time maximum to 40 hours and reduces dispatch comp-time maximum to 100 hours, per the Personnel Committee recommendation.
The West Milwaukee Village Board approved an amendment to the Personnel Policy on April 7 that adjusts accumulated compensatory time caps for two employee groups.
Chairperson Todd Hill moved, seconded by Trustee Ragonese, to adopt the Personnel Committee recommendation changing comp-time limits: the Department of Public Works (DPW) maximum was increased to 40 hours, and the dispatch unit maximum was reduced to 100 hours. The motion carried on a unanimous roll call.
Why it matters: Adjusting comp-time caps alters how overtime is banked and paid out for public employees and can affect scheduling, labor costs and staffing flexibility for public safety dispatch and DPW operations.
What was not specified: The minutes do not include estimated fiscal impact, the prior DPW cap amount, or effective date beyond the motion; those details were not provided in the meeting record and are therefore "not specified."
