entitled to, or receive payment for, any vacation until they have completed six (6) months of continuous service. C. On or after the first (1st) day of the month following completion of six (6) months of continuous full-time service, an employee may be allowed to take all or a proportionate fraction of their earned vacation, subject to scheduling approval of the employee's supervisor. D. Vacation time off may be taken in increments as small as one-half (1/2) hour, with fractional usage rounded upward to the next higher multiple of one-half (1/2). E. Computation of Vacation. 1. In computing vacation, each municipal holiday that occurs during the vacation, and that falls on a day which the employee would have worked had they not been on vacation, shall be deducted from the computation so that one (1) additional day of vacation shall be allowed to the employee unless departmental practice provides some other manner of compensating for municipal holidays. Should an employee suffer a sickness or injury while on authorized vacation, each full day of such sick leave, when confirmed by a physician's statement and approved by the Department Head, may be deducted from the computation of vacation expended and charged against the employee's accumulated sick leave. 2. No employee shall have a right to accumulate or split their vacations, but the same may be allowed or required by the Department Head. The time at which an employee shall take their vacation shall be determined by the Department Head, with due regard for the wishes of the employee and particular regard for the needs of the City to provide basic services. 3. A period of earlier service does not apply toward vacation accumulation when an employee has had a break in continuous service, unless the break in service is concluded by reappointment, as provided in Section 9-114 of the Civil Service Rules and Regulations, or by reemployment from layoff within one (1) year. Leave of absence without pay, as provided in Section 11.1(E) (Sick Leave - Extended), Section 11.8 (Authorized Absence Without Pay - Long Term) and Section 21.2 (Catastrophic Leave Donation) herein, does not constitute a break in continuous service as used in this section; however, the leave of absence period shall not be applied toward the accumulation of vacation. Absence on military leave followed by reinstatement, as provided in Section 9-143 of the Civil Service Rules and Regulations, does not constitute a break in service, and the period of absence on such military leave shall be applied toward the accumulation of vacation.
