BUFFALO, N.Y. — Last month, Mayor Byron Brown promised his administration would begin issuing “a comprehensive report encompassing all employees on paid leave” for each biweekly pay period.
Investigative Post obtained a copy of the first such report last Thursday, a week after it was distributed to department heads on Oct. 12. It is hardly comprehensive.
The report indicates more than 1,400 city employees across 15 departments — about half the city workforce — took some sort of paid leave during the pay period covering the last two weeks of September. The report identifies the employees by name and department and identifies the type of paid leave they took — mostly sick, vacation, or personal leave days.
