Employees of

the Development Authority of Peachtree City now have an official policy

to follow for vacation and sick leave.

Previously,

the authority has used Peachtree City's policy as its own for employees

of the city tennis center and amphitheater, both of which are operated

But as the

authority has begun creating its own policies and procedures manual, this

is one of the areas the authority decided to address.

Now, employees

who have been with the authority for 90 days qualify for one week of vacation

while employees with up to two years service will get two weeks vacation.

Employees with

more than two years experience will get three weeks vacation while those

with five or more years service will get four weeks vacation.

All employees

will get a week's worth of sick time that can be used also.

Authority Executive

Director Virgil Christian told the authority at its Monday meeting that

employees who work overtime are not allowed to receive comp time and since

the tennis center is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, "it's not

a 9-5 job."

Some of the

salaried employees sometimes work much longer hours than normal, particularly

when tennis tournaments are hosted, Christian said. And during concert

season, the amphitheater employees typically take off the Monday following

each performance, he noted.
