MEMORANDUM SOU61UiUic ,n �ferk
To: All Department Heads
From: Patricia A. Finnegan, Esq., Town Attorney
Date: August 15, 2008
Subject: Leave Time
As I advised you at the last Department Head meeting, please let this
Memo confirm that all employees who work an average of twenty or more hours
per week are permitted to take up to three hours of paid leave in any twelve
month period for the purpose of donating blood. This leave time shall not be
charged against any other accruals.
Additionally, an employee is entitled to take a leave of absence "for a
sufficient period of time, not to exceed four hours on an annual basis" to
undertake screenings for breast or prostate cancer. This leave shall be paid
leave, and not charged against any leave to which the employee is entitled.
Travel time is included, however, leave beyond the four hours is charged to the
employee, and you may request the employee provide documentation of the
screening.
Another new law concerns the requirement to provide break times for
nursing mothers. If you need further information on this, please let me know.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the above.
