Answer Question Comments

43 Yes Accurate records of employee time are critical not only for financial accountability, but also effective management of your workforce. Is your municipality ensuring that 1) employees complete and file standardized forms, either electronically or by paper, to verify all employee time worked (e.g. time cards, electronic time keeping); 2) your personnel/human resources office maintains records accounting for all employee leave time earned and used; and 3) supervisors are reviewing and approving/denying employee time and attendance documentation before those records are submitted to management and, in the case of department heads, is such documentation reviewed and verified independently?

No Has your municipality instituted a policy to not compensate employees for sick leave accumulated after a certain date?

45 Yes Does your municipality have a transitional duty program (light duty) to encourage employees out on workers compensation to return to work?

46 No The State Workers Compensation Law provides that, when an employee receives a work-related injury producing temporary disability, the employee is entitled to wage-continuation equal to 70% of the employee's weekly wages, subject to a maximum compensation as determined by the Commissioner of Labor. Does your municipality limit benefits for work-related injuries to the above statutory benefit? The answer to this question can be "prospective" if such a provision was imposed by an arbitrator in binding arbitration but the municipality is seeking to eliminate such a contractual obligation through collective bargaining.
