� � r COMMISSIONER WODTKE NEXT DISCUSSED SECTION 6, VACATION LEAVE. HE NOTED THAT AFTER I YEAR AND UP TO 5 YEARS, AN EMPLOYEE GETS 10 DAYS VACATION LEAVE AND WISHED TO KNOW IF THAT IS TEN WORKING DAYS. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT IT IS TEN WORKING DAYS, AND COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT HOLIDAYS DON'T COUNT. COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT, IN OTHER WORDS, THEY WOULD GET 10 VACATION DAYS AND 10 HOLIDAYS, AND MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT HE WOULD INSERT THE WORDS "WORKING DAYS" - UNDER VACATION LEAVE CREDIT. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT IF AN EMPLOYEE SHOULD GET SICK ON VACATION AND CAN PROVE IT, IT WOULDN'T COUNT AGAINST THE VACATION LEAVE. COMMISSIONER DEESON ASKED IF THEY ARE SAYING UNDER 6.05 A -ACCRUAL, THAT A 15 -YEAR EMPLOYEE CANNOT CARRY OVER ANNUAL LEAVE, AND MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT WAS SO; AT THAT POINT, IT IS A "USE IT OR LOSE IT" SITUATION. COMMISSIONER WODTKE BROUGHT UP MEDICAL LEAVE, PAGE 7-1, AND ASKED IF IT WAS NORMAL TO CHARGE MEDICAL LEAVE IN 1/2 HOUR MINIMUM INCREMENTS. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT IT WAS. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF MEDICAL LEAVE THAN CAN BE ACCUMULATED. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SICK LEAVE THAT CAN BE ACCUMULATED AT THE PRESENT TIME IS 60 DAYS, BUT THEY ARE RECOMMENDING THERE BE NO LIMIT ON MEDICAL LEAVE. WHEN YOU PUT A LIMIT ON A MEDICAL LEAVE, THIS ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO TAKE IT AND USE IT WHEN THEY ARE COMING TO THE PERIOD WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE IT. WHEN THERE IS A NO-LIMIT`ACCUMULATION, THIS BENEFITS YOUR LONG 0 TERM PEOPLE BECAUSE AS A PERSON STAYS WITH YOU AND GETS ON IN THE ORGANIZATION AND AGE, THEY WOULD BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO USING THE SICK LEAVEIAND WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO BY LIMITING IT IS PENALIZE THE EMPLOYEE WHO DOESN'T USE IT. COMMISSIONER LOY FELT NOT LIMITING THE MEDICAL LEAVE WOULD BE A WAY OF REWARDING AN EMPLOYEE WHO DOESN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A SITUATION. 71 JUN 41980 BOOK " P��Fa
