Stonington trustees seek clearer sick‑leave and comp‑time policy language
Summary
Board clarified that sick leave accrues one day per month (rather than front-loading 12 days) and directed that comp‑time limits and reuse policies be made explicit in Employee Policy 3.04. No formal policy amendment was recorded; further clarification is to be drafted.
President Bruce Dowdy told the Board the Employee Policy section 3.04 should explicitly reflect current practice: sick leave accrues at one day per month instead of employees receiving 12 sick days at the start of the calendar year.
He also raised concerns about comp time administration, noting the policy limits employees to holding 40 hours but does not state whether employees may accrue an additional 40 hours after using them. Dowdy said this is not presented as an abuse but that the language should be clarified and written into the Employee Policy.
The minutes record the discussion but do not show a motion to change policy language or a vote. The Board indicated staff should draft clearer policy language for future consideration.
