and sometimes worked beyond 5:00 PM. Neither the City’s administrative investigation nor the
Police Department's investigation concluded that Mr. Turgiss’s schedule constituted theft of wages.
Ms. Ortolano’s implied allegation or speculation that Nashua’s salaried employees don’t work a full
work week is not valid in general nor for Mr. Turgiss. The normal schedule for most of the City’s
administrative functions is comprised of five 8-hour days that coincide with the hours that City Hall
is open for business. (8 to 5, Monday through Friday.) That is generally, at minimum, when
Nashua’s salaried employees work. The City would not allow employees to routinely work less. In
fact, had either investigation concluded that Mr. Turgiss’ work performance or attendance was
inadequate, he may have been subject to disciplinary action.
