FOLEY, Ala. (AP) - Foley employees who run out if sick leave during the flu season will be able to borrow days from future allotments under a policy approved by the City Council.
Foley Mayor John Koniar said the new city sick leave policy will allow workers to stay at home during a flu outbreak without a loss of pay.
The Press-Register reports that under the new policy approved Monday, a worker who runs out of sick time can take additional days off with pay.
Assistant city administrator Sandra Pate said about 40 Foley employees have five days or less of sick leave.
That's either because they have already taken time off or have not worked for the city long enough to have accumulated more time.
Some employees can telecommute if they're tending sick family members or are still quarantined.
