SICK LEAVE PAY FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES
The President read to the Board the following letter from the Comptroller:
Charlottesville
15 November 1956
Confirming our conversation concerning an employee of Seward Forest who is sick
with cancer, the circumstances are as follows:
This man has been an hourly employee for fifteen years. His rate of pay is 90¢
an hour. Under State regulations, all hourly people are considered temporary employees
and are not entitled to any sick leave. As this operation is supported entirely from
endowment funds, the University need not follow State Personnel regulations. It has
been the general policy of Seward Forest to pay all of its employees, other than
Director, on an hourly basis. Under the circumstances, Mr. Jenkins and I feel that
this man should receive some sick leave because of his long service.
As a general policy, it is proposed that any hourly employee with ten or more years
of continued service be entitled to one-half pay for a serious illness, for a period
not to exceed three months.
President
University of Virginia
Pointing out that non-hourly employees can accumulate up to ninety days sick leave, President
Darden recommended approval of Mr. Shea's proposal. The Board adopted after discussion the
following resolution:
RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that, effective this date, any hourly employee with ten or more years of continuous service shall
be entitled to half-pay for a serious illness, for a period not to exceed three months.
