Motion: To Accept and Adopt. So voted unanimously.


Article 6. To see if the Town will vote to accept the fol- lowing By-Law:


CLASSIFICATION AND SALARY PLAN


The classification of positions, pay schedules and pro- visions of this by-law shall be known as the Classification and Salary Plan of the Town of Harwich-providing for a scale of wages and salaries and other benefits for employees of the Town (excepting those elected or under the jurisdiction of the School Committee). This plan shall be administered by a Personnel Board.


The following schedule is based on a 44 hour week for pipe layers and laborers of the Water Department and 40 hours a week for all highway laborers.


SICK LEAVE: 1. In the matter of Sick Leave regular full time employees shall be entitled to fifteen (15) days of sickness, or accident leave, exclusive of Sundays and Holidays, without loss of pay. If such sick leave allowance is not used in any particular year it shall accumulate for a period of six (6) years up to a maximum of ninety (90) days, for use in any subsequent year. The date from which accumulated sick leave shall be computed for all present full time employees, shall be the starting date of the employees current period of full time continuous service with the Town. Sick and ac- cident leave shall be payable in cases of bona fide illness or accident not covered by Workmen's Compensation.


2. Employees who are absent because of such illness or accident for a period of more than two (2) days shall be re- quired to present a Doctor's certificate to their Department Head stating the reason and the period of time the employee will be absent from work.


3. This section is not to be construed by any employee or Department Head as a subterfuge for time off, nor shall it apply in the case of any sickness or accident caused by over- indulgence in alcohol or narcotics, or by employee's mis- conduct.


113


4. Department Heads shall clearly indicate on their pay- rolls all payments for sick leave.


MILITARY LEAVE: Regular Town employees shall be granted leave of absence, without pay, for duration of tour of duty; and shall also be entitled to the vacation, with pay, due them under the vacation provisions of this plan.


VACATION: 1. Employees shall be granted one (1) week's vacation with pay, if they have actually worked for the Town thirty (30) weeks in the aggregate during the twelve (12) months preceding the first day of June in the first year of employment and two (2) weeks with pay the following years.


2. Vacations shall be granted by the department heads at such times as, in their opinion, will cause the least inter- ference with the performance of the regular work of the de- partments. Vacations must be taken in the year in which they are due, and shall not accumulate from year to year.


3. In the event of termination of employment which is caused through no fault of the employee, provided the em- ployee has been in a continuous full time service of the Town for at least one (1) year; or by reason of retirement; the employee shall be paid, or entitled to time off with pay, for any accrued vacation for one (1) day's regular pay for each full month since the employees preceding vacation, not to exceed two (2) weeks pay. In the event of death of an em- ployee any such accrued vacation pay shall be paid to his estate.


HOLIDAYS: 1. All regular full time employees shall re- ceive time off without loss of pay on the following State legal holidays providing they fall on, or are observed, on a regular scheduled work day: New Years Day, Washington's Birthday, Patriot's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christ- mas.


In case of the fire and police departments, or other de- partments whose personnel is subject to duty seven days a week, those regular employees who are assigned to duty on a holiday shall receive a compensatory day off.


JURY DUTY: If an employee is called to jury duty he shall receive an amount equal to the difference between his normal compensation and the amount (excluding any travel allowance) received for such duty upon presentation of evidence of the amount so paid.


114


LEAVE OF ABSENCE: Leave of absence may be granted for valid reasons by a department head, but shall be with- out compensation. In no event shall leave of absence be granted for the purpose of seeking, or trying out, another job.


PERSONNEL BOARD :1. There shall be a Personnel Board appointed to administer the salary administration plan, said Board to be appointed by the Board of Selectmen consisting of three (3) voters, other than employees of the Town, or those serving the Town regularly in any elective or appointed capacity. Each appointee to serve for a period of one year. Members of the Board shall serve without compensation but said Board to have any expense account not exceeding one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00) annually.


2. The Personnel Board shall from time to time review the work of all positions subject to this salary schedule. Such review shall be so scheduled as to cover all positions at intervals of not more than three (3) years.


3. Department heads shall make recommendations an- nually on all phases of this plan as regards each employee.


4. All employees shall have the right to appeal to the Personnel Board from decisions made by Department heads on matters included in this study and the decision of the Per- sonnel Board shall be final.
