RULE 24 - SICK LEAVE
SECTION C
REASON FOR CHANGE:
Departments operating on a 24-hour basis are extremely hard pressed to
find replacements in an emergency. This often times necessitates working
staff overtime sometimes for an entire additional shift, due to lack of
time allowances for advance planning. The result is additional unnecessary
overtime expenditures and inadequate coverage of critical work. stations.
This change was originally presented to the Committee in September, 1974,
and the Board of Commissioners on October 3, 1974.
Objection was raised at one of the following Board meetings to the entire
set of rules presented to the Board on October. 3, 1974,
Objections were aimed primarily at the changes recommended in Maternity
Leave Rules; however, the changes recommended here in Rule 24 went down
in the process.
Our records indicate no specific objections to the changes in Rule 24 as
originally recommended.
