ARTICLE X 10.0 VACATION 10.1 Pose. It is the policy of the City to grant employees vacation leave in order to provide them with a break in their regular work schedule and this purpose will be used as a guide in the administration of the provisions of this Article. 10.2 Regular Vacation Period. A. Regular vacation with pay is granted to each full -time permanent or probationary employee, at the rate of 120 hours for each completed year of service, accrued at the rate of ten (10) working hours for each completed month of service. B. Vacation time off may be taken in increments as small as one (1) hour, with fractional usage rounded upward to the next higher multiple of one (1). C. Computing Regular Vacation. In computing regular vacation, each municipal holiday that occurs during the vacation, and that falls on a day which the employee would have worked had he or she not been on vacation, shall be deducted from the computation so that one (1) additional day of regular vacation shall be allowed to the employee. Should an employee be confined to a hospital for sickness or injury while on authorized vacation, each full day of such confinement, when confirmed by a physician's statement and approval of the Police Chief, may be deducted from the computation of vacation expended and charged against the employee's accumulated sick leave. No employee may carry over from one (1) calendar year to the next, more than the equivalent of 240 hours of regular vacation from the previous two (2) years, and vacation not taken beyond that amount is forfeited. A regular vacation period is defined as the maximum amount of vacation earned in a calendar year as provided in Subsection A above. 3. Employees may or may not be allowed or required to accumulate or split vacations. The time at which an employee shall take his or her vacation shall be determined by seniority within rank, with due regard for the needs of the service. 22
