NON PUBLIC SELECTBOARD MINUTES

May 2, 2011

PRESENT:  Roberta LaPlante-Chair, Carolyn Boland, John Jordan – Selectboard

                      Barbara Caverly-Town Administrator/Recording Secretary

 OTHERS:  Chief Wood

Jordan moved, and it was voted, to go into nonpublic session at 4:37 p.m. to discuss what an employee's date of hire is in relation to step increases. 

The Board reviewed the Personnel Manual and determined that section #205, Introductory Period, is not clear when it pertains to an employee who has been transferred to a new position or actually applied for a posted position and was subsequently hired for it.

Until or unless changes are made to the policy, an employee's initial date of hire remains even when he/she moves into or is hired into another position in town.

Wood stated his initial date of hire is March 24^th and any step increases should be based on that date.  He also noted Melissa Hetrick's date of hire is April 19^th.

Wood also expressed concern that some employees would not receive their step increases before the health insurance cost share became effective.  Boland reminded him the Board has postponed making that change for two years.  It will go into effect with the new insurance period starting July 1^st.

Jordan moved to go out of nonpublic session at 4:50 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Barbara Caverly

Recording Secretary
