Conversion to Personal Leave. Any permanent employee who is benefit eligible and who has been employed by the City for twelve (12) consecutive months is eligible to convert up to two days of previously earned sick leave to an equivalent amount of personal leave. Full-time employees may convert the equivalent of two (2) days based on their regular work day. Part-time employees may convert two (2) days with a day calculated as follows: standard hours divided by five (5) days per week. Xxxx leave will be converted to personal leave at the time the conversion is elected. Beginning in July 2002 employees with twelve (12) consecutive months of City service at the beginning of the fiscal year must elect their conversion for the fiscal year during the month of July. Employees who reach their one (1) year anniversary may make their election during their anniversary month for that fiscal year only. The personal leave balance will change as personal time is used. At the end of each fiscal year, each employee may elect one of the following options: (1) convert unused personal leave to sick leave; or (2) retain unused personal leave for use in the next fiscal year; or (3) convert additional sick to personal leave. In no event shall the employee's total amount (by carry- over and/or conversion) or total usage exceed two (2) days per fiscal year. Neither conversion of sick leave to personal leave or the subsequent use of personal leave under this section shall be considered to be use of sick leave for purposes of Section 20.3. The employee will give the Department Head or designee as much advance notice of the use of personal leave as the circumstances permit. When using personal leave time, the employee is not required to give the reason for use of such time; however, personal leave may not be used on holidays on which the employee is scheduled to work or on other days previously requested off and denied by the Department Head or designee. Personal leave balances are not payable at separation from employment. However, an employee shall have the option at separation to convert unused personal leave to sick leave.
