N.Y. Town Law § 157: Absentee leave

§ 157. Absentee leave. Every member of such police department shall be

entitled, in addition to any vacation or absentee leave now prescribed

by law, to one day of rest in seven. The chief or acting chief of the

police department shall keep a time book showing the name and shield

number of each member of the department and the hours worked by each of

such police officers in each day. The town board may make a variation

from the above prescribed hours of vacation, provided the member shall

receive during each year the actual number of days absentee leave to

which he or she is entitled. The town board, at its option, may, in

addition to the days of rest hereinbefore provided, grant an annual

vacation with pay. Whenever the town board shall designate any police

officer to attend police school, such attendance shall be deemed in the

course of duty and when so attending he or she shall receive his or her

usual pay and reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses. Sick

leave with full pay may be granted whenever such sickness or disability

has been incurred without the delinquency of the police officer.
