Upon the approval of the Police Chief, vacation leave may be accumulated to a maximum of two (2) years' vacation entitlement and taken in one (1) calendar year. Such approval shall be recorded in the employee's personnel file. An employee who fails to take accrued vacation leave within the time herein prescribed shall cease accruing vacation leave until vacation usage reduces below the prescribed limit. An employee who is in unpaid status for 44 or more hours in a pay period shall not accrue vacation leave for that pay period. Upon being separated from City service, an eligible employee shall be entitled to compensation for any accrued but unused vacation calculated at the rate of pay at the time of termination. The following vacation leave provisions do not apply to hourly or part-time employees. 13.2 Vacation leave for each full-time employee shall be accrued and credited for the pay period in which it is earned. An employee holding a full-time position shall be entitled to a vacation leave which shall consist of five-sixths (5/6) work days for each full calendar month of service performed. In the year in which an employee holding a full-time position completed five (5) full years of City service, such employee shall be entitled to fifteen and three-quarters (15 % ) work days of vacation for service performed.

Waiver of this reporting requirement can be made by the Police Chief only, and only in specific unusual circumstances. Absence for illness may not be charged to sick leave not already accumulated.
