I. Nature of Request:
Adopting policy for additional cancer screening leave for Montgomery County employees
II. Justification:
Montgomery County Personnel in the continuation of our Wellness initiative, recommends that Montgomery County provide our full-time employees with an additional 4 hours of leave time for Cancer Screening. This time is to be used in a separate block of time in an effort to encourage prevention and early detection. Research shows that many cancer deaths are preventable through early detection and early detection significantly increases a person’s option for treatment and survival.
III. Legislative Impact:
Article 2, Section 2.04 of the Montgomery County Charter states that the Montgomery County Legislature shall be the legislative, appropriating and policy-determining body of the County.
IV. Financial Impact:
The only financial impact for the county is providing the employees with an additional 4 hours of time to use for Cancer Screening. However, the prevention measures will be a far greater benefit.
