Title
Resolution authorizing a cash payment in compensation for accrued compensatory time for 2 employes of the Fire Department.
Analysis
The Milwaukee Code (s. 350-5-5) requires that any City employe carrying a balance of compensatory time from one position to another use up that balance within 2 years of assuming his or her new position. This resolution authorizes the City Treasurer to pay a total of $8,395.28 to 2 employes of the Fire Department in compensation for accrued compensatory time who were unable – due to work-related circumstances – to use up their compensatory time balance within this 2 year period. The money is to be taken from the Fire Department's Accrued Wages – Time Owed and Allowed account (#202202).
Body
Whereas, Jackie Semons and Mary E. McDougall were both promoted from positions within the Milwaukee Fire Department to new positions within the same department on April 13, 2000; and
Whereas, Both Ms. Semons' and Ms. McDougall's promotions were made retroactive to December 25, 1999; and
Whereas, Both Ms. Semons and Ms. McDougall, at the time of their promotions, had accrued the maximum amount of compensatory time permitted by the Milwaukee Code; and
Whereas, Section 350-5-5 of the Milwaukee Code requires employes with compensatory time balances at the time of promotion to use up their compensatory time within 2 years of the date on which they assume their new positions; and
Whereas, Work-related circumstances within the Fire Department prevented both Ms. Semons and Ms. McDougall from using up their accrued compensatory time balances; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the City Treasurer is directed and authorized to issue a check in the amount of $4,203.39 to Ms. Mary E. McDougall and a check in the amount of $4,191.89 to Ms. Jackie Semons; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the funds to cover the cost of these checks be taken from the Milwaukee Fire Department's Accrued Wages – Time Owed and Allowed account (#202202).
