continuous city service shall not apply unless the break <br />service was concluded by re-appointment, as provided in <br />Section 9-114. <br /> <br />in <br /> <br />Sec. 9-130. Regular vacation p~iod. <br /> <br /> Regular vacation with pay is granted to each full-time <br />permanent or probationary employee at the rate of fifteen (15) <br />working days for each completed year of service to be taken <br />in the calendar year following the year in which it is earned, <br />except as provided elsewhere in these rules. An employee who <br />has completed less than one year's service during the calendar <br />year shall receive a proportionate fraction in accordance with <br />the amount of service to his credit during the year; provided, <br />however, no employee shall be entitled to, or receive payment <br />for any vacation until he has completed six (6) months of <br />continuous service. Absence on sick leave for a period in <br />excess of 15 consecutive calendar days shall not be considered <br />as service for vacation accrual purposes. <br /> <br /> Sworn members of the police department and uniformed members <br />of the fire department assigned to the normal five-day work- <br />week schedule, are granted regular vacation on the same basis <br />as other full-time employees, as set forth in the preceding <br />paragraph. <br /> <br /> Uniformed members of the fire department assigned to the <br />24-hour shift schedule are granted regular vacation on the <br />same basis as other full-time employees except that their <br />standard work unit is a working day of twelve hours. Therefore, <br />each sworn fire department employee in this category is granted <br />regular vacation at an annual rate of fifteen, 12-hour working <br />days. In those cases when an employee is transferred between <br />24-hour shift and normal five-day work-week schedules, the <br />employee's earned vacation, which is accrued in hours, shall <br />be converted to agree with the number of working hours per <br />day in the currently assigned schedule. <br /> <br />Sec. 131. Computing Regular Vacation <br /> <br /> In computing regular vacation, each municipal holiday that <br />occurs during the vacation, and that falls on a day which the <br />employee would have worked had he not been on vacation, shall <br />be deducted from the computation so that one additional day of <br />regular vacation shall be allowed to the employee unless <br />departmental practice provides some other manner of compensating <br />for municipal holidays. Should an employee be confined to a <br />hospital for sickness or injury while on authorized vacation, <br />each full day of such confinement, when confirmed by a physician's <br />statement and upon department head approval, may he deducted <br />from the computation of vacation expended and charged against <br />the employee's accumulated sick leave. <br /> <br /> No employee may accumulat~ more than the equivalent of one <br />regular vacation period from the previous year, and vacation <br />not taken beyond that amount is forfeited. A regular vacation <br />period is defined as the maximum of vacation earned in a <br />calendar year as provided in Section 9-130 of this Code. No <br />employee shall have a right to accumulate or split his vacation, <br />but the same may be allowed or required by the department head. <br />The time at which an employee shall take his vacation shall be <br />determined by his department head, with due regard for the <br />wishes of the employee and particular regard for the needs of <br />the service. It is the policy of the City to grant employees <br />vacations in order to provide them a break in their regular <br />work schedule. In the administration of the provisions of this <br />section the department head shall be guided by this stated <br />purpose and he must approve in writing any accumulation of <br />regular vacation. <br /> <br />- 2 - <br /> <br /> <br />
