The Milwaukee County Board on Thursday approved a revision of its sick leave policy aimed at phasing out the practice of banking unlimited amounts of unused sick leave and cashing them in at retirement. The change was estimated to save taxpayers more than $1 million a year by capping sick leave balances at 960 hours per worker. Under the new plan, county workers wouldn't lose sick time already earned, but would not be able to accumulate any more than the limit. …. At issue was a dispute by county correctional workers - guards at the jail and County Correctional Facility-South in Franklin - over whether seniority rules on vacation dates still apply in the wake of the new state law restricting public employee union bargaining and the decertification of District Council 48 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
