After reading a section of the P.A . P. under sick leave, Jean called Barbara Horton and said that she felt she should get paid . Barbara told her "no" . Rita indicated that after looking at the sick leave section of the P .A. P. , she can understand why Jean interpreted it to mean that she should be paid . Rita commented that we could do a better job in repeating lanaguage relative to the probationary period "after one year" . Rita said that Barbara Horton was correct in not authorizing payment because of a one-year probation. Rita explained that Jean Lotrionte is a non-standard part-time dispatcher. According to the P.A. P. , non-standard people work less than 20 hours a week . Also, non-standard employees are on a one-year probationary period . This individual started last July and will be on probation until this coming July.
