Common use of Administration of Vacation Leave Clause in Contracts

Administration of Vacation Leave. The City Manager, upon the recommendation of the Police Chief, may advance un-accrued vacation to any permanent regular and part time employee. If the employee leaves City employment before accruing the used vacation leave, said employee will reimburse the City the value of the advanced vacation leave. In recognition of exempt status from FLSA, time off for vacation leave purposes shall not be deducted from the employees' accrual, unless the employee is absent for the full work day. The time at which an employee may use his/her accrued vacation leave and the amount to be taken at any one time, shall be determined by the Police Chief with particular regard for the needs of the City, but also, insofar as possible, considering the wishes of the employee. In the event that one or more City holidays fall within an annual vacation leave, such holidays shall not be charged as vacation leave, and the vacation leave shall be extended accordingly. Employees who terminate their employment shall be paid in a lump sum for all accrued vacation leave earned prior to the effective date of termination.
