The Board of Trustees, by resolution, may from time
to time establish and amend policies of the Village with respect to
provisions for granting and use of sick leave and vacation leave;
for accumulation of unused sick leave and vacation leave; and for
compensation of employees for unused sick leave and vacation leave
and for separation pay. Such policies shall be applicable to all employees
other than those employees who are members of a collective bargaining
unit established or recognized pursuant to the New York State Civil
Service Law.
Any policy established pursuant to this section shall
be subject to change in the discretion of the Board of Trustees. The
adoption or amendment of any particular policy shall not be deemed
to establish any vested right in any employee to compensation for
any unused sick leave or vacation leave, except that the rights of
an employee who has met all requirements for receipt of such compensation
and who has applied therefor, in accordance with the policy in effect
at the time of such application, shall not be diminished by any subsequent
amendment to the said policy.
In establishing or amending any policy pursuant to
this section, the Board of Trustees may establish reasonable classifications
or categories of employees, and make and amend different provisions
for use or accumulation of sick leave or vacation leave or for compensation
for unused sick leave or vacation leave or separation pay for employees
in different classes or categories.
Any policy established pursuant to this section may
provide for granting sick leave and vacation leave and accumulation
and/or compensation for unused sick leave or vacation leave or separation
pay at such time or times and in such amount or amounts as the Board
of Trustees shall determine in its sole discretion.
