Accrual Limitations. Vacation leave shall accrue in accordance with the table in 15.1. If an employee is about to lose vacation credit because of accrual limitations, and such impending loss is caused solely by the City’s insistence that the employee be at work during a scheduled vacation period, the employee may, by notifying his/her supervisor in writing at least 5 calendar days in advance, absent him/herself from work to prevent loss of vacation time. Such action taken by the employee shall not constitute a basis for disciplinary action or loss of pay. In lieu of the employee absenting him/herself from work as provided above, the City may, at its option, pay off the excess vacation time at the employee’s regular rate of pay. Such payment shall be made on the next pay date following the pay period in which the employee would have had to absent him/herself from work. No payment shall be made for vacation time lost by an employee because of accrual limitations unless the failure to take vacation is caused solely by the City’s insistence that the employee be at work during a scheduled vacation period.
