157 - Absentee leave.

§ 157. Absentee leave. Every member of such police department shall be  entitled,  in  addition to any vacation or absentee leave now prescribed  by law, to one day of rest in seven. The chief or acting  chief  of  the  police  department  shall  keep  a time book showing the name and shield  number of each member of the department and the hours worked by each  of  such policemen in each day. The town board may make a variation from the  above  prescribed  hours  of vacation, provided the member shall receive  during each year the actual number of days absentee leave to which he is  entitled. The town board, at its option, may, in addition to the days of  rest hereinbefore provided, grant an annual vacation with pay.  Whenever  the  town  board  shall designate any policeman to attend police school,  such attendance shall be deemed in  the  course  of  duty  and  when  so  attending  he  shall  receive his usual pay and reimbursement for actual  and necessary expenses. Sick leave with full pay may be granted whenever  such sickness or disability has been incurred without the delinquency of  the policeman.
