RECTOR COMMISSIONER DUTCHESS COUNTY GOVERNMENT HUMAN RESOURCES MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: May 6, 2025 Susan Serino, County Executive FROM: Steven J. Rector, Commissioner RE: Resolution Request рівно Correction Officer Employee #5458, 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 was made for use of Sick Leave at ½ Pay, as provided in the DCSEA collective bargaining agreement in Article VII, Section 3(vii), through the duration of the 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. To that end, the employee has an approved medical need and benefit time was exhausted in February of 2025. Additionally, and the Sick Leave at ½ Pay Committee has approved the other necessary criteria. The Sheriff has awarded an initial 30 days of Sick Leave at ½ Pay, after which continuing coverage requires Legislative approval for the benefit via Resolution. The employee's most recent documentation anticipates medical clearance to return to work on or about July 13, 2025 depending on actual recovery time. To accommodate this medical uncertainty, the attached request is for an additional 30 days beyond this date to provide flexibility in case recovery is delayed and additional medical justification is supplied keeping the employee out a little longer while not requiring additional Legislative approval as long as the employee returns within this timeframe. As this memo will be part of the public record, the employee's identity and details relating to their condition are being withheld to maintain confidentiality.
