[Michlib-l] Residency policy

[Mutch, Andrew]

Since 2000, it has been illegal to impose those kinds of residency requirements on municipal employees as outlined here:

http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-15-602

There are some exceptions (elected officials, volunteer firefighters, etc.) but those would not apply to library employees. You can require that employees live within a set distance of the community boundaries but again as outlined in the state law, that can be no less than 20 miles.

[As always, my two cents and not those of my employer!]

Hello, all. Do any of you have policies requiring staff to be residents of the library's city/county/district? If so, would you be willing to share your policy? Has anyone looked into this and decided not to pursue it?
Thank you,
Andrea Cosier
