From a previous article on the subject:
“The city and the state reached a settlement agreement
with active employees of the police department and formally issued a memorandum
on Oct. 18 advising Atlantic City to cap leave payouts at $15,000. They also
called for the cap to pertain to anyone who retired after Nov. 9, 2016, even
though the idea was first brought to the table in June 2017, according to the
lawsuit.
Less than a week later, the Atlantic City city council passed the memorandum as
a resolution, meaning any officer who retired after Nov. 9 would have their
sick time payback capped at $15,000.
Lisa Ryan, a spokeswoman for the DCA, said following a
“comprehensive analysis of the city’s financial situation” the Nov. 9, 2016
date was chosen because that is the day the Municipal Stabilization and
Recovery Act went into effect in Atlantic City.”
