Hollis Select Board Transparency Archive

Good afternoon:

I know that Heather will obtain her second week of vacation 1 year from when she was elected. So maybe she is in the same boat. I would recommend finding all. With Faith- probably pay out since she would have 4 weeks next year. But up to the new board. I would let her know we are looking at it.

Thanks

Mary

Hi all,

Given the special circumstances, I would be in favor of accommodating either option and deferring to Faith’s preference.

Good morning:

In the past, we have elected to deal with the issue of vacation time by rolling it over into the next year. I think paying a week out is an excellent idea. I think that we should survey find out who all is affected. Get a list and then decide how to deal with the issue.

Thanks

Hello All,

I find myself in a scheduling dilemma. I have been working for the town long enough so that my benefit of vacation time is 4 weeks a year. With all the changes that happened over the past 18 months, with Anna being out on sick leave and then with the election of a new Tax Collector, I was not able to plan vacation time until Heather had at least 6 months of working in the Motor Vehicle program. With scheduling my vacation time around the vacation/sick/training time of those that I cover for, it has been difficult to take 4 weeks before June 30.

I am writing to request that you consider deviating from policy and allowing me to get paid out for 1 week of vacation time (29 hours). I have 32 hours remaining un-used. Given the fact that we are already a week into June and the fact that there are 2 Fridays that Town Hall will be closed in the coming weeks, it could be quite burdensome to my co-workers if I had to take more time off.

Another option would be to roll over a weeks’ worth of time, however, I do not want to continue to create a scheduling dilemma in the future.

You’ll notice I have cc’d Dick in this email as we have discussed the matter and both feel as this is kind of a time sensitive matter. Your response would be appreciated. Thank you
