ARTICLE IX <br />9.0 VACATION <br />9.1. Purpose. It is the policy of the City to grant employees <br />vacation leave in order to provide them with a break in <br />their regular work schedule, and this purpose will be used <br />as a guide in the administration of the provisions of this <br />Article. Employees covered by this Agreement must take at <br />least five (5) consecutive days of vacation per year. <br />9.2 Regular Vacation Period. <br />A. Regular vacation with pay is granted to each employee <br />covered by this Agreement at the rate of fifteen (15) <br />working days for each completed year of service, <br />accrued at the rate of ten (10) working hours (fifteen <br />[151 working hours for personnel assigned to 24-hour <br />work shift schedule) for each completed month of <br />service. In those cases when an employee is transferred <br />between the twenty-four (24) hour shift schedule and <br />the regular forty (40) hour workweek schedule, the <br />employee's earned vacation, which is accrued in hours, <br />shall be converted to agree with the number of working <br />hours per day in, the currently assigned schedule. <br />E. Personnel assigned to a regular forty (40) hour week <br />may take vacation time off in increments as small as <br />one (1) hour, with fractional usage rounded upward to <br />the next higher multiple of one (1). <br />Personnel assigned to the twenty-four (24) hour shift <br />schedule may take vacation time off in increments as <br />small as three (3) hours, with fractional usage rounded <br />upward to the next higher multiple of three (3). <br />C. Computing Regular Vacation. <br />1.

Should an <br />employee be confined to a hospital for sickness or <br />injury while on authorized vacation, each full day <br />of such confinement, when confirmed by a <br />physician's statement and approval of the Fire <br />Chief, may be deducted from the computation of <br />vacation expended and charged against the <br />26 <br />
