Board Discussion - Acceptance of accrued sick time from former employers
Discuss
Denise Griffin
5 m
It has come to the attention of the Board that a policy may need to be added regarding sick time for employees coming from other districts. This is a discussion of the addition of this policy to get ideas from the board about what option they would like to visit regarding a formal policy.
1. No addition of sick leave from former employers.
2. Addition of sick leave from former employers for the purposes of retirement only.
3. Limits of sick leave from former employers, accepting only an agreed amount of sick leave from previous employers.
4. Addition of sick leave from former employers with a delayed start date for use.
This is a discussion only that will help create board policy for next month's board meeting.
