The Raleigh Civil Service Commission has recommended the city go back to its original holiday pay policy for all city employees at an emergency meeting Thursday afternoon.
That recommendation will now head to the City Council.
“In our mission statement and strategic plan it talks about transparency, and to me that’s not transparent if we’re talking about this again,” said Douglas Brugger, employee representative on the Civil Services Committee.
Firefighters had been shocked to learn these new policies dramatically cut down their vacation time, but Thursday city human resources officials they made a mistake.
