Donaldson v. Taylor

Tom Glaze, Justice.

In this case, appellant-firemen, who work twenty-four-hour shifts, argue that, commencing January 1, 1993, the City of Pine Bluff erroneously changed its policy in calculating their sick leave. Their dispute with the City centers on the interpretation of Ark. Code Ann. § 14-53-108 (Supp. 1995), which in relevant part provides as follows:(a) (1) From and after April 11, 1969, all fire fighters employed by cities of the first and second class shall accumulate sick leave at the rate of twenty (20) working days per year beginning one (1) year after the date of employment.
