Cease to Accrue Provision. Employees who reach their maximum permitted accumulation of annual leave on their anniversary date will cease to accrue additional annual leave. Employees who expect to be in this situation may submit a written plan to reduce excess leave which will include time off and pay-in-lieu up to one hundred and twenty-five hours per fiscal year as necessary. If the Appointing Authority denies the specific time off requested and provides no alternative time off which is acceptable to the employee, this cease-to-accrue provision shall not apply until such time as the employee is granted and takes the time off. It is City’s intent to accommodate employees’ requests to use annual leave and avoid any loss of this benefit.
