§ 157. Absentee leave. Every member of such police department shall be\nentitled, in addition to any vacation or absentee leave now prescribed\nby law, to one day of rest in seven.

The town board may make a variation\nfrom the above prescribed hours of vacation, provided the member shall\nreceive during each year the actual number of days absentee leave to\nwhich he or she is entitled. The town board, at its option, may, in\naddition to the days of rest hereinbefore provided, grant an annual\nvacation with pay.
