Select Board standardizes timing of education, wellness and CTO payments
Summary
The board voted to pay the Education Incentive and the Wellness Benefit once per fiscal year in June and approved a transition payment for CTO up to the new maximum at the pre-COLA rate; further work will continue to redesign the Combined Time Off policy.
Following executive-session discussion, the Select Board approved several personnel policy changes affecting benefit timing and Combined Time Off (CTO).
Beth Grant moved that the Education Incentive be paid once per year in June of the fiscal year; Christie Boswell seconded and the motion passed unanimously. An identical motion to pay the Wellness Benefit once per year in June was also approved. Separately, Boswell outlined plans to simplify CTO by moving to a single CTO table and assured employees would not lose already-accrued hours. Boswell moved to pay CTO amounts up to the new maximum at the rate before the 5% COLA increase (effective in July); the motion was seconded by Stacy Eddy-Gordon and approved unanimously.
Board members described the CTO change as an initial step; staff and the board will continue negotiating a final CTO structure aimed at predictability and sustainability.
