Committee directs revisions to Pleasantville employee handbook, sets sick-leave accrual
Summary
The Records, Rules & Law Committee directed multiple changes to the village employee handbook, including deleting two sections, capping sick-leave accrual at 1.85 hours per 80 hours worked, adding complaint-contact options, and moving toward a single PTO bank; the Village Administrator will finalize edits for Solicitor Browning before the July 9 council meeting.
At its June 24 meeting, the Village of Pleasantville Records, Rules & Law Committee directed Village Administrator Samantha McCreery to revise the employee handbook and circulate a marked draft for committee review. Key edits include deleting Section 3.03 and removing health-care language in Section 4.01(B); setting sick-leave accrual at 1.85 hours for every 80 hours in active pay status (overtime excluded); and moving toward a consolidated paid time off (PTO) approach rather than separate sick and vacation balances.
The committee also asked that the handbook expand reporting options by explicitly listing the mayor and the village administrator among complaint/reporting contacts to improve accessibility and comfort for employees. McCreery will apply edits using strikethrough formatting, email the revised draft to the committee for final review by Friday, forward it to Solicitor Browning for legal review, and present the final draft to the full council at the July 9, 2026 meeting.
