Town of Encampment okays vacation pay

The Encampment Town Council approved paying ex-police chief, Nick Finer, for eight-and-one-half days of accrued vacation, Thursday.

During the council meeting, council member Mary Martin said Finer’s contract stated that the vacation days start to accrue from day one, but the employee cannot use vacation until after one year of employment.

Martin also pointed out the termination section of the contract states vacation pay will be paid upon termination of the contract.

After discussion, the council voted unanimously to pay Finer the accrued vacation at a rate of $25 per hour.
