holiday times

The Town Clerk will be back in Exmouth next Friday and at his desk on the 2nd september after his annual leave. Not bad a month off with some more to come as time in lieu. no wonder that local government is in such a state !

I suppose that is why he declares that the council should employ a deputy town clerk so that he can have more time off I believe that there is no need to employ another as already there is an office manager who was intended to cover the time when the clerk was away. 

For all his faults the previous clerk didn't run up so much time in lieu as he just didn't log in overtime and his refusal to accept over the top annual salary increments meant that the council; salary costs were kept to a minimum, looks as if this new bod is a bit of a grabber.Still he is after all he was employed by the tories who are renowned as poor managers.
