Mapleton council doesn’t want to train employees to work for someone else.
At the April 22 meeting, council directed staff to prepare a policy regarding reimbursement to the township for training courses in the event employees leave the employ of the township.
“I think council has always been supportive of training, and sometimes we do get all the training in place and (it turns out) we’re doing it for some other municipality who comes along and hires them away,” said councillor Neil Driscoll, who put forward a motion on the issue that was approved unopposed.
A draft policy will be developed for consideration.
