Town of Webb adopts vacation, sick leave and holiday schedule for 2026

The Town of Webb approved a multi-tier vacation and sick-leave schedule for full-time employees for 2026. Examples in the resolution include: after six months of employment in the first year, employees receive 5 days of vacation and 6 days of sick leave; years two through six receive 10 vacation days and 12 sick days; the 12th year includes 20 vacation days and 12 sick days. The policy requires a doctor's certificate or verification for sick leave exceeding three consecutive days.

The board also set the 2026 list of legal holidays for full-time employees, including New Year's Day (Jan. 1), Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan. 19), Juneteenth (June 19), Independence Day (July 4), Labor Day (Sept. 7), Veterans Day (Nov. 11) and Christmas Day (Dec. 25), among others. The resolution specifies which employee groups (e.g., PBA, CSEA) are eligible for certain holidays and allows exceptions to be authorized by the supervisor.

Why it matters: Employee benefit schedules determine staff availability, payroll liabilities and staffing plans across the year. The board's action standardizes accruals and holiday observance across town departments.

Follow-up: Department heads and payroll staff should update records to reflect the adopted schedules and verify collective bargaining agreements for specific unionized employees.
