City of Paris Council Benefits Subcommittee <br />December 8, 2003 <br />Page 9 <br />mother-in-law or any relative living in the employee's home. <br />Councilman Bell questioned the funeral leave. Mr. Anderson advised that one <br />of the most requested issues regarding funeral leave was they needed to add <br />grandchildren. He said at the present time immediate family members include <br />spouse, child, parent, grandparents, sister, brother, mother-in-law, father-in-law, <br />and relatives residing in the employee's home. Mayor Pro Tem McCarthy agreed <br />that a grandchild should be added to the immediate family. <br />After discussing the use of funeral leave for brother-in-law and sister-in-law, it <br />was the consensus of the committee to have staff look at other cities and <br />industries and see what their policies are and bring that information back to the <br />committee. <br />Chairman Guest asked about the sell back of sick leave. Mr. Anderson advised <br />that for an employee to sell back sick days, they have to have and, in no case can <br />the sick leave balance after sell back be less than 30 days. Mr. Anderson said <br />that if an employee has 30 - 89 days it is sold back at 50%, between 90 - 119 day <br />it is sold back at 75%, and 120 days it would be sold back at 100%. The Police <br />and Fire employees upon retirement can sell back 90 days, the reason for this was <br />trying to be equal with them. <br />City Manager Malone explained that this is an incentive to keep employees from <br />abusing the sick leave. He advised that most employees get to the 50% and 75% <br />point of sale back. <br />Chairman Guest said when they re-write the Personnel Policies to consider <br />adding grandchildren to the immediate family for funeral leave. <br />Chairman Guest announced that the Committee would adj ourn unti110:00 A.
