HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP)--A municipal "truant list" to curb absenteeism has been suggested by the Holyoke Taxpayers Association.
Hon. Executive Secretary Edwin A. Seibel notified the mayor that the association would like to see "specifically stated on all municipal payrolls the number of days each employee is absent from his or her work, either for reasons of illness or annual vacation leave."
A similar policy for the police department made effective some time ago resulted in a "pronounced reduction" of absentees, Seibel said.
