Sentiment on City Council to end practice of paying cash for unused sick & vacation time By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — When the last city manager left she received more than $44,000 for the personal, vacation and sick days she did not take but accrued during her tenure. When her successor leaves, he will not get a dime. The question is whether the example the City Council and Scott Myers have chosen to set will ultimately apply to other municipal employees. The practice of attaching a cash values to accrued leave upon retirement or resignation is enshrined in the collective bargaining agreements negotiated between the city council and the four unions representing municipal employees — the Laconia Professional Firefighters, Laconia Patrolman’s Association, State Employees Association and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. These benefits are also incorporated in the city’s personnel rules in recognition of a practice that ensures that employees who are not represented by a union, especially salaried employees, and union members are treated equitably. Although the rules governing police officers are somewhat distinct, employees receive 10 vacation days per year and an additional five days after a decade of service. Employees can accrue up to oneand-a-half times their allotted vacation days, which can be carried over from one year to the next and see sICK Pay page 10
