WHEREAS

  • the Village Board has agreed that ending Thursday is the best day to end the pay week for all employees and that it will implement a change in the pay week pursuant to this decision

  • the Village Board approves the use of this additional personal leave day to the paychecks of the Highway and non‐union Village Full‐Time employees in the pay period when the transition to the pay week ending on Thursday occurs
  • this Resolution shall not serve to create, or modify an existing, past practice or binding process that existed, if any, prior to the date of passage of this resolution
