SICK LEAVE PLAN (Page 2)
A4teA a eaAe4ue examination o� the exi.6ting pAov" ions o� one and one-hat4
dayts accumutation we noted that once an empto yee had used up their 6 i ck
,leave theRe w" no pAoteeti,on 4ot a Zong teAm di ab,itity and it wa3 ouA
4ee.Ung that some pAoteet%on zhoutd be o�4vLed.
To a�4oAd betteA pAotecti.on to out non-union emptoyee we aAe Aecommend.ing
that a Aedueti.on be made in the sick .leave aeeumutati,on pAOV,�z.iov/s to one

eaAning s to a maximum o4 $2,000.00 mo nthL y to age 65 and that thin wilt
become a taxabte benefit to the employee. The .bong teAm dtisabitity plan
and the Aedueed sick leave enedi t ptan would a4�oted better disabitity
