Utica, NY, reaches $250,000 settlement in employment severance suit.

Utica, NY: (May-28-08) Police Chief C. Allen Pylman has resolved his severance dispute with the city's police department, after the city of Utica agreed to pay him $250,000, leading to his retirement. City sources stated that the chief's contract did not require the city to pay him for the accumulated comp time, but it has been the past practice of the city with police employees.

Under the terms of the deal, $168,003, the largest portion of the payout, will be for compensatory time, or overtime that the chief built up. As part of the agreement, Pylman, 59, will also receive funds for vacation, sick, holiday and personal time he accrued during his time with the department, walking away with more than $187,000 after taxes. Records show that Plyman's employment contract doesn't expire until 2019, the same year he turns 70, which is the age state law mandates he retire. Pylman will retire at the end of June 2008, after having led the city police department for nearly seven years.
