Title
From the County Executive, requesting authorization to amend Section 17 of the Milwaukee County Code of General Ordinances as it pertains to vacation and sick allowance benefits for non-represented employees. (06/23/11: Referred back to Committee by the Board.)
Body
Enclosed please find for your consideration my proposed amendments and revisions to the vacation and sick allowance ordinance pertaining to non-represented employees. The intent of this proposed ordinance revision is to bring our policies more in line with other units of government and the private sector. The changes include amending polices for returning former employees so they more closely reflect those of new employees, reducing vacation carryover and placing a limit on sick leave accrual.
If enacted, these changes will result in policies that offer attractive benefits to current and future employees and prevent financial outcomes not intended by policymakers. I look forward to working with you and the Board on improving our existing ordinance.
