Pay for Vacation Time. Upon termination of employment the Management employee shall receive all earned vacation on record based on the pay level of the employee at the time of the separation of employment. Such payment shall be received in his/her final paycheck from the City.
Pay for Vacation Time. Upon request of the Department Head with approval of the City Manager, an employee may be paid the straight time hourly equivalent of his/her salary in lieu of vacation time off. Such payment shall be for no more than 80 hours in any one fiscal year for non-management employees and for no more than 80 hours in any one fiscal year for management employees.
Pay for Vacation Time. Until December 31, 2019, upon request of the department head and with approval of the City Manager, an employee may be paid the straight time hourly equivalent of his/her salary in lieu of vacation time off. Effective for calendar year 2020 and every year thereafter: By December 15 (the first year being 2019) of each year, employees may make an irrevocable election to cash out up to the maximum number of hours of vacation leave which they can accrue per year which will be earned in the following calendar year at the employee’s base rate of pay. In the following year, the employee can receive the cash for the vacation leave they irrevocably elected to cash out in either two (2) separate increments of up to half their annual accrual cap (i.e., for those who accrue 6.77 hours per pay period – 176 hours per year, 88 hours each) or one (1) increment of up the maximum they can accrue in a year. The employee would be paid one half of what they irrevocably elect to cash out hours on both the second pay day in July and the first pay day on December or the employee can elect to be paid their full amount they elected to cash out on the first pay day in December. However, if the employee’s vacation leave balance is less than the amount the employee elected to cash out (in the prior calendar year) the employee will receive cash for the amount of leave the employee has accrued at the time of the cash out. If an employee makes an irrevocable election to cash out vacation leave in the following calendar year and uses vacation leave in that subsequent year, the vacation leave used will come from vacation leave the employee had earned prior to January 1 of the year the employee has elected to cash out vacation leave. This is to ensure that assuming an employee had a vacation leave balance prior to January 1, the vacation leave used will not result in a reduction in the amount of vacation leave the employee will be eligible to cash out. In addition to the above, starting in calendar year 2020, an employee who has an “unforeseen emergency” (defined as an unanticipated emergency that is caused by an event beyond the control of the employee and that would result in severe financial hardship to the employee if early withdrawal were not permitted) shall be entitled to make a request to the Human Resources/Risk Manager for a payoff of up to one year’s accrual of vacation. The amount of vacation which may be paid off is limited to the amount necessary to meet the emergency.
Pay for Vacation Time. Unit employees shall be considered as management employees for the purposes of determining the amount of vacation time a unit employee may request for pay off.
