Supreme Court reverses sick leave ruling in Princeton case
The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals reversed a Mercer County Circuit Court decision that would have cost Princeton hundreds of thousands. City Manager Doug Freeman said the reversal avoids about $10,000 owed for 99 days and three hours of unused sick leave by former officer Donald Ingram Jr. Ingram had 10 years of service before resigning in 1997. The court ruled the State Wage Protection Act applies to municipalities and upheld an unwritten policy against paying unused sick leave, potentially limiting future liabilities for cities statewide.
