Council employees will be given an extra ‘wellbeing’ day in recognition of their outstanding efforts in responding to the coronavirus pandemic over the last two years.
The announcement was made following agreement at a special meeting of North Lanarkshire Council on Thursday, June 9, to enable employees to take a one-off ‘wellbeing’ day as leave before the end of December 2023.
This includes the many home carers, teachers, support workers, community learning and development workers, active schools and leisure staff who supported the hubs that were set up to provide childcare for keyworkers over lockdown.
