The Town Board of the Town of Islip presently extends to its nonunion, full-time employees certain contractual benefits afforded to its union employees under a collective bargaining agreement. These benefits have been authorized by Town Board resolution. Pursuant to a recent opinion of the New York State Comptroller, such contractual benefits, if not specifically authorized by statute, should not continue to be conferred by resolution but should rather be authorized by a local law. The purpose of this local law is to ratify the prior extension of certain fringe benefits to nonunion, full-time employees and to authorize the continued extension of such benefits.
The following benefits are hereby conferred upon all nonunion, full-time employees, including elected and appointed officials (hereinafter referred to as "management"), in the following manner:
A. 
Holidays, personal and funeral days. All holidays, personal and funeral days guaranteed to white collar employees under the collective bargaining agreement between the Town of Islip and Local No. 237, I.B.T., effective January 1, 1986, to December 31, 1988 (hereinafter referred to as the "Collective Bargaining Agreement"), shall be extended to management.
B. 
Accumulated sick time. Upon termination of employment, management shall be entitled to payment in cash for the same number of accumulated sick days as are entitled to white collar employees pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement.
C. 
Maternity leave. Management shall be entitled to the same maternity leave available to white collar employees pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement.
D. 
Dental and optical plan. Management shall be entitled to coverage by the same dental and optical insurance plans available to white collar employees pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement.
E. 
Withdrawal from Town health insurance. Management, if covered by health insurance from other policies, may elect to withdraw from Town medical coverage. One (1) calendar year after such withdrawal, management shall be entitled to the same bonus for withdrawal as provided to white collar employees pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement.
F. 
Life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance and disability insurance. In a manner to be determined in the discretion of the Town Board, management shall be entitled to life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance and disability insurance.
G. 
Deferred compensation. Management shall be entitled to participate in the deferred compensation plan in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Town plan.
H. 
Education. Management shall be entitled to reimbursement for tuition for job-related courses, seminars and workshops, as approved by the Supervisor or his nominee, provided that the cost does not exceed budgetary limitations. Management shall also be entitled to reimbursement for travel to and from approved educational functions and meetings subject to the same budgetary limitations.
I. 
Town vehicles and mileage reimbursement. Certain management employees, in the discretion of the Town Board, may be provided with a Town vehicle. All management shall be entitled to mileage reimbursement for travel in personal cars in the course of their employment in the amount provided to white collar employees pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement.
All benefits conferred by this local law that have been previously conferred on management by a Town Board resolution are ratified by this local law.
This local law shall take effect upon its adoption and upon the requisite filing in the office of the Secretary of State.
