employees who work just prior to, during and immediately after a hurricane or other natural or
manmade disasters; and
WHEREAS, Village Staff is recommending adoption of a formal policy for payment and
compensation for non-exempt and exempt employees during declared states of emergency within
the Village, including, the establishment of an "administrative leave bank" for exempt employees
who were called into work but did not perform actual disaster -related work that would qualify
for emergency duty compensation pursuant to Section 8-31 of the Village Code; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council determines that that adoption of this Resolution is in the
interest of the public health, safety and welfare.

two times their regular rate of pay.

Bank for those exempt employees who work during a declared state of emergency within the

end of the next full fiscal year after the conclusion of the state of emergency. By way of
