Mr. Oliver: There are three cases we know of right now
where we have people who have exhausted all of their leave time
due to illness in the family. This would permit people to
transfer vacation time to someone who needs it. We have proposed
some strict guidelines on it and we think it can help people in
the long-term. We are recommending that we try it for six months
and then come back and reevaluate it.
Mr. Powell: I move approval.
