KASHIMER COMMISSIONER DUTCHESS COUNTY GOVERNMENT HUMAN RESOURCES MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: FROM: RE: A. Gregg Pulver, Deputy County Executive Rachel Kashimer, Commissioner of Human Resources Sick Leave at Half Pay Request Corrections Employee #5238 has been employed with Dutchess County since October 16, 2017, and has requested leave pursuant to a physician's orders for a non-work related medical issue. In doing so, the employee has been approved for use of accrued benefit time, however there are insufficient balances for the term of the leave. Upon exhaustion of benefit time, a request has been made for use of Sick Leave at Half Pay, as provided in the DCSEA collective bargaining agreement in Article VII, Section 3(vii), through the duration of the employee's absence. Per the policy, an employee must have an appropriate medical need and exhaust their benefit time prior to being eligible for this benefit as well as meet the criteria as set forth in Resolution 466 of 1973. Employee #5238 has an approved medical need and all benefit time was exhausted prior to this request. The anticipated return to work date is unknown at this time pursuant to the medical documentation. Pursuant to the rules of the benefit, the Sheriff has approved the initial 30 workday period, which was effective 04/23/2026 through 06/03/2026, after which coverage requires Legislative approval to continue the benefit. The attached Resolution requests the Legislature to approve an additional sixty (60) workdays of the Sick Leave at Half Pay benefit from June 4, 2026, through August 28, 2026. If medically cleared to return to work, the employee may do so prior to August 28, 2026. As this memo will be part of the public record, the employee's identity and details relating to the medical condition are being withheld to maintain confidentiality. 22 Market Street, Poughkeepsie, New York 12601 | (845) 486-2169 | Fax: (845) 486-2186 dutchessny.gov FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT • NO FISCAL IMPACT PROJECTED APPROPRIATION RESOLUTIONS (To be completed by requesting department) Total Current Year Cost $.
