Launa Phillips LAURA PHILLIPS, DEPUTY CLERK OF THE LEGISLATURE SUE SERINO COUNTY EXECUTIVE STEVEN J. RECTOR COMMISSIONER DUTCHESS COUNTY GOVERNMENT HUMAN RESOURCES MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: February 14, 2025 Susan Serino, County Executive FROM: Steven J. Rector, Commissioner RE: Resolution Request Ashley Rivera, Correction Officer, has requested leave pursuant to her physician's orders for a non-work related medical issue. In doing so, she has been approved for use of accrued benefit time, however she has insufficient balances for the term of her leave. Upon exhaustion of her benefit time, she has requested 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 her absence. Per the policy, an employee must have an appropriate medical need and exhaust their benefit time prior to being eligible for this benefit. She has an approved medical need and her benefit time is expected to exhaust on or about March 7, 2025, however her anticipated return to work date is projected as May 31, 2025 leaving approximately twelve (12) weeks of time eligible for Sick Leave at ½ Pay. Pursuant to the rules of the benefit, Sheriff Imperati has approved the initial 30-day period after which coverage requires Legislative approval to continue the benefit via Resolution. The attached Resolution requests the Legislature to approve 30 days of Sick Leave at ½ Pay. The 30 days is in excess of the projected time of absence to allow a reasonable period of time for potential variability to the recovery time line without needing additional Legislative approval. 22 Market Street, Poughkeepsie, New York 12601 | (845) 486-2169 | Fax: (845) 486-2186 dutchessny.gov NO FISCAL IMPACT PROJECTED FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT APPROPRIATION RESOLUTIONS (To be completed by requesting department) Total Current Year Cost $ Total Current Year Revenue $ and Source Source of County Funds (check one): L Existing Appropriations, Contingency, •Transfer of Existing Appropriations, • Additional Appropriations, [ Other (explain).
