Common use of Unused Vacation Time Clause in Contracts

Unused Vacation Time. Accumulated, unused time shall not exceed three hundred forty (340) hours for employees working seventy-five (75) hours per pay period and three hundred sixty-three (363) hours for employees working eighty (80) hours per pay period. Thereafter, additional accumulation shall be suspended unless otherwise approved in advance by the County Administrator in the County Administrator's sole discretion in cases where such is beneficial to the County. When an employee reaches the applicable maximum accrual, he or she shall cease earning vacation time until his or her balance falls below the maximum accrual. Where an employee's vacation is denied or canceled by the County after the employee has reached his or her cap of vacation time accrual or resulting in the employee reaching the cap, the employee may request of his or her department head that the accumulation cap be temporarily suspended by the County Administrator until such time that the County permits the employee to use vacation. Such requests shall not be unreasonably denied. Where such a request is approved, accumulation shall continue from the date in which the vacation was denied or canceled.
