Manchester Implementing Sick Leave Insurance for Town
Manchester town fathers have bought a sick leave policy to shield the town and 15 employees from losses due to long illnesses, with Metropolitan Life providing $75 weekly and a life policy of $2,000 funded by premiums. The plan allows budgeting exact costs and avoids substitute salaries, addressing prior overages from lengthy illnesses.
