GREECE, N.Y. — The Greece town board is set to vote on Thursday night on whether town managers can cash out unused sick time upon retirement.
As News10NBC has covered, Supervisor Jeff McCann wants to eliminate the rule that allows town managers to get payment for unused sick time. He said the rule cost taxpayers more than $240,000 last year when three managers retired, which amounts to about $7 per taxpayer in Greece.
The rule has been in effect since 2022 and town employees who aren’t managers don’t have the same benefits. Under McCann’s proposal, managers who retire will be treated like any other town employee and continue paying the same premium contribution they paid while employed.
The meeting at Greece Town Hall on Vince Tofany Boulevard starts at 6 p.m. You can see the meeting agenda here.
