Board approves study of a town sick‑leave bank after request tied to employee surgery
Summary
Board authorized the supervisor to explore creating a town sick‑leave bank (modeled on the county policy) to help employees facing long illnesses or surgeries; the supervisor will work with county HR and return with a draft policy.
The Town of Jay board authorized the supervisor to explore establishing a town sick‑leave bank after a presentation about an employee facing an extended medical leave needing additional paid time.
Supervisor Dwyer explained the county model — voluntary donations, a committee review process, and bank caps — and asked the board to endorse staff work with Essex County HR and town personnel to draft a town policy. The board voted to allow the supervisor to proceed with drafting a proposal and to return a proposed policy and implementation steps for board approval at a future meeting.
