Vacation Use and Accrual. If any employee is on sick leave or disability during a scheduled vacation period the employee shall be allowed to pick alternative date(s) for vacation. In general, vacation leave must be taken by the end of the calendar year in which it is to be scheduled, or it will be lost. Bargaining unit employees will not lose vacation time for time off due to work-related injury or illness. Bargaining unit employees who were unable to schedule and use all of their vacation leave due to duty injury or illness may carry over vacation leave to the next calendar year with the Fire Chief’s approval. Alternatively, the Fire Chief may compensate the employee for unused vacation leave at the beginning of the calendar year at the then-current rate of pay. Any employee separating from service and desiring compensation in cash shall earn vacation in their final calendar year on a pro-rated monthly basis. Employees separating from service and using their vacation leave as scheduled time off are not affected by this change. In the case of the death of an employee, the compensation due that employee shall be paid to his or her estate.
