An employee assigned to the patrol, or traffic division and who is subject to a rotational schedule may receive for any eight (8) hours holiday worked, one and one-half times the straight-time rate of pay or compensatory time off at the one and one-half time rate. The employee may be compensated in payment at the overtime rate for the equivalent of four (4) hours, and the remaining eight (8) hours of holiday time will remain in the holiday account. In the event the employee elects compensatory time off, the accrued time shall be placed in the employee's compensatory time off balance, not to exceed 80 hours. The term "compensatory time" refers to that time earned and accrued by working any overtime or holiday. Compensatory time may be used, and replaced, without regard to frequency of use, as long as the account balance does not exceed 80 hours. Once an employee's compensatory time off balance exceeds 80 hours, the employee shall be compensated in pay. An employee may schedule accrued compensatory time and the Department will schedule a relief employee as available. If not available, the Department will post the vacancy for a volunteer employee to sign for, on an overtime basis. The volunteer employee will only be compensated in pay for the overtime worked at the overtime rate of one and one-half times the hourly rate based on the employee's monthly salary. This process shall be consistent with the San Leandro Police Department sign-up procedures. Section 13. Annual Vacation Leave 13.1 The purpose of annual vacation leave is to enable each eligible employee to return to work physically and mentally refreshed. In the administration of this section, administrative personnel shall be guided by this stated purpose. Full vacation leave shall be taken at one time. However, the Police Chief, under appropriate circumstances may permit a modification of this requirement. The time at which an employee shall take vacation leave during the calendar year shall be determined with due regard for the needs of the department. The vacation holiday sign-up will be posted in the authorized work locations of the respective divisions for sworn employees of the Police Department not later than November 1, to be completed by December 1, for the next calendar year. In the event one (1) or more municipal holidays falls within a vacation leave, such days shall not be charged as vacation leave and the vacation leave shall be extended accordingly for those employees eligible for such holidays. 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. 9
