§ 30. Continuation of salaries of local and state welfare employees
receiving training for the better performance of their duties. Subject
to the approval of the department, the board of supervisors of a county
and the appropriating body of a city or town may include in its
appropriations moneys for the continuation of the salaries of their
local welfare employees who are on leave receiving additional training
for the better performance of their duties, provided that no such
salaries shall be so continued to a greater extent than will reimburse
such employee for the loss of earnings while on such leave. Salaries of
the employees of the department may be continued in a similar fashion.
