ADDITIONAL VACATION PURCHASE. All full-time employees subject to this MOU, excluding part-time and intermittent employees, may elect to purchase one or two additional weeks of vacation over and above their regular entitlement as set forth in Section 10A. of this MOU. The additional week(s) may be purchased in the following manner: On or before the biweekly pay period nearest October 1 of any year, an eligible employee shall submit a written request to the Agency/Department Head, stating his/her desire to purchase one or two extra weeks of vacation. Such vacation must be purchased in increments of one or two weeks. The County shall then pay such employee 97.38% of his/her salary for one additional week or 94.76% of his/her salary for two additional weeks, until the biweekly pay period ending nearest June 30. (The 2.62% or 5.24% reduction is the value of one or two week(s) of vacation prorated over approximately nine months.) The additional vacation, once purchased, may be taken with the employee's regular vacation entitlement. Beginning the Fall of 2002, employees eligible for vacation purchase may elect to purchase either one or two weeks of vacation under the Vacation Purchase Plan during Open Enrollment. On the first pay period of the calendar year, the employee’s vacation balance will be updated with the additional amount of vacation purchased. Employees may then use the vacation time purchased, scheduled by mutual agreement between the employee and the Agency/Department Head. Employees will then pay for the vacation time purchased in equal installments during the calendar year. Should an employee use their purchased vacation time, and leave the employment of the County prior to paying for the additional vacation, the County will recover the cost from the employee.
ADDITIONAL VACATION PURCHASE. 1. Employees covered by this MOU, who have a vacation balance less than the cap of 240, may elect to purchase either forty (40) or eighty (80) additional hours of vacation per year provided, however, that any employee who so elects this additional purchase will take a reduction in pay equivalent to the additional hours purchased. This additional purchase must be accomplished over a twelve (12) month period of time, and hours purchased will be credited to the employee’s vacation balance each pay period as follows: 40 hours purchased = 1.54 hours vacation accrual each pay period 80 hours purchased = 3.08 hours vacation accrual each pay period An employee’s election to purchase additional vacation shall not raise the employee’s vacation balance above 240 hours. Should an employee’s vacation balance reach the 240-hour cap, no further purchase will be permitted until said employee reduces their vacation balance below 240 hours.
