Allison v. Whittier Reg. Voc. High School

3 Citing cases

  1. Gustafson v. Wachusett Regional School

    64 Mass. App. Ct. 802 (Mass. App. Ct. 2005)   Cited 6 times
    In Gustafson, the Bridge Agreement was intended to be, and executed as, a temporary CBA between the parties, until a permanent agreement could be reached.

    Again, Rutland's argument necessarily assumes that the Town Agreement entirely expired on August 31, 1994, and that the Bridge Agreement does not apply to Gustafson's claim for the sick leave benefit, both of which are assumptions without basis in fact or law. As discussed above, by virtue of the carry-over provision of the Bridge Agreement, Gustafson became entitled to reimbursement for unused sick leave once she completed fifteen years of teaching service, at which time that benefit "accrued," see Allison v. Whittier Regional Vocational High Sch. Dist., 15 Mass. App. Ct. 944, 946 (1983), and was legally "due" her upon her retirement, in the accepted meaning of the word. See Black's Law Dictionary 538 (8th ed. 2004).

  2. Allison v. Whittier Regional Vocational

    388 Mass. 1104 (Mass. 1983)

    March 30, 1983.Further appellate review granted: Reported below: 15 Mass. App. Ct. 944 (1983).

  3. Colo v. Contributory Retirement Appeal Board

    37 Mass. App. Ct. 185 (Mass. App. Ct. 1994)   Cited 8 times

    Opinion of the Justices, 364 Mass. at 862. See also Boston Assn. of Sch. Administrators Supervisors v. Boston Retirement Bd., 383 Mass. 336, 343-344 n. 10 (1981); Allison v. Whittier Regional Vocational High Sch. Dist., 15 Mass. App. Ct. 944, 946 (1983). Although the need for some flexibility in meeting changed conditions has been recognized, we are not concerned with the permissible scope of subsequent modifications because disallowance here would have deprived Colo of credit for twenty-six years of service, and no threat to the retirement system or other justification for applying the amendment to him.
