You can see from this month’s borough payroll that
Lodi has no cap on sick day compensation.
Instead of one lump sum for sick days at retirement, Lodi is making payments each December.
Employees hired after 2010 are far exceeding $15,000 for sick pay.

A quick google search:
“State
workers’ sick-leave payouts have long been capped at $15,000. Since 2010, the same limit has applied to newly hired
employees of counties, municipalities and school districts.”
“In
2010, Christie signed a $15,000 cap for municipal, county and school employees
hired after that date — the same that has long applied to state workers.”
The Councilwoman's son, Patrick Licata, was paid $3032.04 for his sick days for
2018 alone. If you multiply that by 25
years, you get $75,801. Licata’s annual “sick
pay” will increase as his salary does.
State employees and BOE employees are astonished at what is going on in the Lodi borough hall. Municipal employees from nearby towns are astonished at what is going on in the Lodi borough hall.

Patrick Licata was enrolled in the public pension
system in 2012. That was after Christie
signed the $15,000 cap for municipal employees in 2010.
Lodi is clearly circumventing the law.
The State’s best practices include eliminating compensation altogether for sick days accumulated after a certain date. Link to the state’s best practices inventory:
