This week, yet more head-scratching concerns were generated after senior staff told councillors Chapmanā€™s vacation payout did not break vacation entitlement policies.
The policy states payout can be made in extenuating circumstances. It does cite two examples of what would be considered extenuating circumstances, which were the examples of absence or extended illness. The policy does not say these are the only acceptable circumstances, but are examples of acceptable circumstances. Workloads preventing vacation, while not explicitly cited as an example in the policy, has been accepted as extenuating circumstances permitting payouts for other staff in the past. Consequently, staff reported that Chapman's vacation payout did not violate vacation entitlement policies.
