Common use of Vacation Accrual Cap Clause in Contracts

Vacation Accrual Cap. At any time during each calendar year employees will be limited (capped) in the number of vacation hours they can accrue. No employee may accrue more than 265 hours for 37.5 hour per week employees and 396 hours for 56-hour per week employees. Vacation accruals will resume once the employee’s accumulated vacation balance falls below the allowable cap limit. Employees may, for special situations (i.e., extended medical leave) request an increase in their cap. Each request would need to be in writing, submitted through the department, and receive the approval of the Fire Chief and the City Manager. Such requests would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and would be evaluated based on the reason for the request and be consistent with the provisions of the MOU. This additional vacation accrual could not exceed one-half of the employee’s regular annual vacation accrual. In no case would the addition of vacation accrual over the cap be extended beyond one additional year. If an employee exceeds the accrued vacation balance (cap) as a result of being on extended leave pursuant to Labor Code Section 4850, those accrued hours would be carried forward and the employee would be allowed to use the additional accrued hours without penalty. In no event will an employee have their vacation hours reduced as a result of exceeding the cap due to having been off on Labor Code 4850 time as a result of an industrial injury, if the time off due to an industrial injury prevented them from taking scheduled vacation.
