At the end of the F~scal Year, 30 September employees will be paid for all sick leave NOT USED to a maximum of 12 days. They will be paid at their current rate of pay with no deductions. Payment for unused s~ck leave will be paid the. second pay period which should occur prior to the Christmas Holidays. I It becomes very important that all Supervisors monitor and report p~operly all sick leave used by the employee. I intend to personally monitor this program and w.ill not tolerate abuse of this privilege, which will be financially beneficial to all of us when we need it most. I strongly recommended this policy change to the City Commission because of the minimum number of personnel we have and I believe it will serve as an incentive to get our people to work when otherwise they may remain at home. Please insure that all your employees are familiar with this change in policy c:-~~-- --- John ~v;gn~tti I
