Earned Time. 1. Earned time is an alternative approach to the traditional manner of covering absence for vacation, personal days, maternity leave, military leave, and sick leave. Instead of dividing benefits into a specific number of days for each benefit, earned time puts these days together into a single benefit. Earned time can be used for a variety of purposes, including a payment in cash at the time of termination. Earned time is available as soon as it is “earned.” The exact number of earned time hours available each year will depend on the years of service to the Town.
2. Employees who are employed in a full time position are covered by earned time. The accrual rates are as follows:
3. For the purposes of the earned time benefit, years of service will be calculated from the initial date of employment. Employees may accumulate earned time based on regularly scheduled hours worked or in pay status up to those hours budgeted for the position (other non-status hours worked in supplemental compensation such as overtime are excluded) and on years of service to the Town.
4. Excess of 672 hours may, at the employee option, be purchased by the Town at a rate of one earned hour for one hour’s pay. An employee interested in selling accrued earned time in excess of 672 hours shall notify the Fire Chief in writing prior to December 1, March 1, or September 1 of their intent to sell the excess hours. The date of purchase will be the third payday in January for the excess as of December 31st. For written notices received on or before March 1st, the date of purchase will be the third payday in April for the excess as of March 31st. For written notices received on or before September 1st, the date of purchase will be the third payday in October for the excess of September 30th.

Earned Time. It is the intent of this policy to explain the provisions and conditions of the Earned Time Program. The program has been created to provide, as equitably as possible, paid time off, to be used at the employee's discretion, while protecting an allotment of time for disability, hospitalization or injury. Earned time is a combination of vacation and personal absence days. A separate account per year is accumulated for disability time (seven days per year). Earned Time is an alternative approach to the traditional manner of converting absences for vacation, sick leave, interim disability, maternity leave, by combining all these plans into one program. Instead of dividing benefits into a specific number of days for each benefit, Earned Time puts these days together into a single benefit. The exact amount of Earned Time accrued each year will depend on the years of service with the Portsmouth Fire Department. Effective the date of this policy, employee's vacation time will be converted to earned time. Employee's sick time balance will be converted to the Disability Bank. Employees will accrue earned time based on the following schedule: Years of Service Earned Time Accrual Rate Disability Bank Total Combined 1 - 5 yrs.
