Common use of Earned Time Clause in Contracts

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.
