Barpainino with Non-Union Employees
Selectman Caggiano requested the possibilities of implementing a sick leave bank for all municipal
employees, union and non-union. The sick bank would only be used for catastrophic illness.
Assistant Town Manager Ray Santilli provided information on the current status of sick leave banks
that are mandatory subjects of negotiation for union employees. Santilli also pointed out the
advantages and disadvantages from an overall management perspective. Currently, Human
Resources is in the process of working with a consultant to draft a comprehensive personnel policy
to replace the outdated personnel bylaw. Non-union employees are also offered short-term and
long-term disability insurance as an alternative if needed for a sickness or accident.
Selectmen suggested taking a survey of other cities and towns that have exempt laws of sick leave
and make a comparison.
Ray Santilli would continue working of this and wrap this into the overall discussions with the
personnel policy and report back to the Board.

Mark Caggiano made a MOTION, seconded by Thomas Licciardello to move out of Executive
Session. Vote approved 4-0.
Respectfully submitted,
Adele J. Johnson, Administrative Secretary
