William R. Brown v. City Manchester

This appeal involves the efforts of the former Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Manchester to be paid for the compensatory time he accumulated while employed by the City. The former director brought this action in the Chancery Court for Coffee County seeking to recover the value of this leave time after the City refused to keep him on its payroll until this leave was used up. The City filed a Tenn.R.Civ.P. 56 motion for summary judgment asserting that its own compensatory leave policy was invalid. The trial court granted the Citys motion and dismissed the complaint. The former director has perfected this appeal. We vacate the summary judgment because the City has not conclusively demonstrated that it is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.
