Date: August 25, 1976

SUBJECT: Leave for Internal Employee Organization Activities

TO: All Department and Agency Heads

FROM: Lanning S. Mosher, Director

Purpose

1. In order to provide equal treatment for each employee organization and, at the same time, be fair to the taxpayers of Maine, the State is adhering to the following policy concerning time off from work to participate in internal employee organization or union affairs.

Policy

2. Employees may use vacation credits to attend union conventions and other internal meetings, provided that their absence will not interfere with the proper conduct of department or agency operations and that they submit their requests to their supervisors at least five (5) days in advance. Members of all employee organizations should be treated equally.

Special Procedure for the Remainder of 1976

3. Because an organization has already received some administrative leave for its convention earlier this year, we will grant the same amount to competing employee organizations during the remainder of this calendar year. Arrangements for any administrative leave to attend conventions will be made between this office and the employee organization involved, and communicated to agencies at least five (S) days before any convention.
