Paid Vacation Leave – Eligible on Hire Date; Hours earned daily.

Vacation Leave is accrued (“earned”) by all regular, full-time employees who are actively at work, per pay period, based on total hours paid (including hours worked over the employee’s regular schedule, and as defined by City’s polices). Vacation Leave will be accrued if employee is out on a type of paid time off.

Vacation requests (partial or full day) must be approved by the Department Head.

As an employee’s length of service increases, the accrual rate for Vacation will increase as well. Accrued, unused Vacation hours at year-end will roll over into the new year.
