American Red Cross donation need:
With the second hurricane in six weeks to hit the Louisiana coast, and fires on the West coast the need at the Red Cross is at an all time high. Whatever or however you can help would be greatly appreciated.
Sick time accrual 2020
I have been hearing this question from the floor.
Why do I have an extra 24 hours sick time in my bank?
Back on (October 1,2020) we were given 24hours of sick time; this was added to our sick banks.
It is our understanding that on or before December 31st 2020, we will have accrued a total of 80 hours sick time for the year of 2020, per the new contract.
Please read ARTICLE 24 – SICK LEAVE for sick accrual in 2021.
Have a Good Day!
