Fiscal Note
Based on historical employee retirement practices, the estimated cost of the increased sick leave eligibility at the time of retirement will be approximately $6,000 per year, beginning in 2007. The expanded definition of "immediate family" for bereavement leave purposes will have no significant budgetary impact.
Title
Amending Sections 3.36(6)(e)2. and 3., 3.36(13)(a)2. and 3.52(1)(b)3 and (4) of the Madison General Ordinances to modify the amount of sick leave accumulation received upon retirement, to clarify that an annual cash payment is available to all employees with sick leave credits in excess of 150 days, and to expand the definition of "immediate family" as it applies to bereavement leave.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: These provisions increase to 163 days the amount of sick leave employees may accumulate when eligible for retirement or disability, and expand the definition of "immediate family" for purposes of bereavement leave.
