Committee backs extending Saskatoon Transit sick leave consultant

A Saskatoon city council committee backs extending a pilot project by an external consultant to help manage employee absences, despite a union’s concern the work duplicates existing resources.
Members of the environment, utilities and corporate services committee voted unanimously on Monday to recommend to city council that a one-year experiment to manage absences by Saskatoon Transit employees be extended by another year.
