ARTICLE IX
9.0 VACATION
9.1 Purpose. 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.
9.2 Regular Vacation Period,
A. Regular vacation with pay is granted to each full -time permanent or
probationary employee, at the rate of fifteen (15) working days for each
completed year of service, accrued at the rate of ten (10) working hours
for each completed month of service.
B. An employee who has completed less than one year's service during the
calendar year shall receive a proportionate fraction in accordance with the
amount of service to his or her credit during the year; provided, however,
no employee shall be entitled to, or receive payment for, any vacation until
he or she has completed six (6) months of continuous service.
C. On or after the first (1S) 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 his or her 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. Upon completion of two (2) years of continuous service, each employee
must take at least five (5) consecutive working days of vacation each year
thereafter.
F. Computation of Regular Vacation.
1. 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 unless
departmental practice provides some other manner of
25M -25
MKI
compensating for municipal holidays. 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 Executive Director, may
be deducted from the computation of vacation expended and
charged against the employee's accumulated sick leave.
2. No employee may carry over from one (1) calendar year to the
next, more than the equivalent of two (2) regular vacation periods
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. No employee shall have a right to accumulate or split his or her
vacations, but the same may be allowed or required by the
Executive Director. The time at which an employee shall take his
or her vacation shall be determined by the Executive Director, with
due regard for the wishes of the employee and particular regard for
the needs of the service.
Longevity Vacation.
A. Each permanent employee is granted additional work days of vacation
leave with pay for each completed year of full -time, continuous city service
as set forth in the following table. This additional vacation shall be

B. No employee becomes eligible for longevity vacation until completion of
the sixth (6th) year of continuous service, and each employee continues to
earn the maximum of ten (10) working days (80 hours) of longevity
vacation for each completed year of service in excess of twenty (20)
years.
C. A period of earlier services does not apply toward longevity 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 Article X, Subsection 10.1 (E) (Sick Leave - Extended),
Article X, Subsection 10.8 (Authorized Absence Without Pay - Long Term)
and Article X, Subsection 10.12 (Catastrophic Leave) 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 longevity vacation. Absence on military leave followed by
reinstatement, as provided in Chapter 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 longevity vacation.
D. Effective July 1, 2017, the maximum permitted yearly cash out of longevity
vacation time shall revert back to forty (40) hours per fiscal year.
9.4 Limitation on Vacation.
A. With the exception of a retiring employee, no employee is granted, and no
employee shall be allowed to take any vacation leave with pay in excess
of fifty (50) working days (400 hours) in any one year by any combination
of the vacations granted in these rules and regulations. Further, no
employee may carry over from one (1) calendar year to the next more
than the equivalent of one (1) longevity vacation period and the equivalent
of one (1) regular vacation period from the previous two (2) years and
vacation not taken beyond that amount is forfeited. Therefore, the
maximum vacation that an employee with less than six (6) years service
could accumulate is thirty (30) working days (240 hours) and only an
employee with more than twenty (20) years service could carry over and
take the authorized maximum of fifty (50) working days (400 hours) in any
one year.
25M -27
B. No employee may carry over from one (1) calendar year to the next more
than the equivalent of three (3) longevity vacation periods and the
equivalent of one (1) regular vacation period from the current year and the
previous two (2) years; vacation not taken beyond that amount is forfeited.
Therefore, the maximum vacation that an employee with less than six (6)
years service could accumulate is thirty (30) working days (240 hours) and
only an employee with more than twenty (20) years service could carry
over and take the authorized maximum of seventy -five (75) working days
(600 hours) in any one year.
9.5 Effect of Extended Sick Leave on Vacation Accrual. Absence on sick leave for a
period in excess of fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days shall not be
considered as service time for regular and longevity vacation accrual purposes.
9.6 Management Vacation Benefit.
A. All full time SAMA employees covered by this Agreement will be granted
an additional five (5) working days [five (5), eight (8) -hour days for forty
(40) hour employees] per calendar year over the regular and longevity
vacation schedules applicable to represented non - management
employees of the City subject to a maximum accrual of twenty -five (25)
days of such additional five (5) days per year.
B. Effective January 1, 2010, the maximum accrual of management vacation
benefit hours shall increase to thirty (30) days (240 hours).
9.7 Management Vacation Pay Option.
A. Affected employees shall be given once each calendar year the option to
receive cash compensation, computed on a straight time basis, in lieu of
up to five (5) eight (8) hour working days of earned, unused management
vacation benefits set forth in Section 9.6 above.
B. Effective July 1, 2014, the maximum permitted yearly cash out of
management vacation time shall revert back to forty (40) hours per
calendar year.

ARTICLE X
10.0 OTHER LEAVES OF ABSENCE
10.1 Sick Leave.
A. Definition. Except as otherwise provided below, sick leave shall be
deemed to mean absence from duty of an employee because of illness,
injury, medical, or dental appointment that prevents the employee from
performing the duties of his or her position, and shall be deemed to
include time in quarantine resulting from exposure to a contagious
disease.
B. Accrual. Each employee shall be entitled to, and shall earn, one (1), eight
(8) hour working day of sick leave for each full calendar month of service
in which he is employed by the City with full pay; provided, however, any
absence on sick leave for a period of time greater than fifteen (15)
consecutive calendar days in any one (1) calendar month shall not be
considered to be service entitling an employee to earn sick leave as
aforesaid. Subject to the other provisions in this Article, sick leave shall
accrue to the credit of each employee to the extent that it is not used.
C. Authorized Only When Necessary. Use of sick leave by City employees
shall be authorized as follows:
1. Sick leave is not a right which an employee may use at his or her
discretion, but shall be allowed only in cases of necessity and
actual sickness or disability, or as authorized in Subsection J
below.
2. When an accepted industrial illness or injury has caused an
employee's absence, for which benefits are required under the
State Workers' Compensation Insurance and Safety Act, paid sick
leave will be allowed such employee during the first three (3) days
of the statutory waiting period. If the workers' compensation related
illness or injury continues past the initial three (3) consecutive days,
the employee will have the three (3) used sick days recredited to
his or her account, if the employee remains off work longer than 14
days. Paid sick leave will continue until the fourth (4th) day when
the City pays the employee workers' compensation benefits for
such illness or injury. If the employee does not have sufficient
accumulated sick leave at the commencement of such industrial
25M -29
illness or injury, they will be advanced sick leave for this purpose.
Subsequently, the City will deduct an equal amount previously
advanced from any sick leave accrued by the employee until the
total amount is recovered. If the employee terminates before
recovery of all advanced sick leave, the City will deduct the
unrecovered cost of sick leave from such terminated employee's
final paycheck, to the extent possible.
Commencing with Council approval of this Agreement, the City may
authorize employees to use sick leave or vacation time for
approved workers' compensation medical appointments as
specified herein. The City may authorize use of such leave for City
approved medical appointments whenever such appointments
cannot be secured outside the employee's regular workday, and
salary continuation or workers' compensation benefits are not
available.
D. Limit.
1. The maximum total accumulation of sick leave with pay shall be two
hundred (200), eight (8) hour working days (1600 hours). Sick
leave usage of less than a full day shall be charged in minimum
increments of one -half (1/2) hour, with fractional usage rounded
upward to the next higher multiple of one -half (1/2) hour.
2. Effective January 1, 2005, the maximum total accumulation of sick
leave with pay will be increased by 400 hours to a maximum of
2,000 hours. These additional 400 hours of accumulated sick leave
will not be permitted to be compensated or converted to health
insurance premiums as specified herein under Subsection 10.1 (K)
of this Article at the time of non - disciplinary termination.
E. Extended. The City Manager may grant leave up to six (6) months without
pay to an employee who has exhausted all of his or her accrued sick leave
if the City physician or a licensed physician designated by the City
Manager indicates that the employee will be sufficiently recovered to
return to his or her employment within a six (6) month period. Prior to the
expiration of the additional time, the employee may return to his or her
position provided that the employee has a certificate from one of the
above mentioned physicians stating that the employee is able to perform
all the duties of his or her position without qualification. In addition to the
above, the City Manager may grant a further extension not to exceed a
total of one (1) year without pay.
25M -30
F. Extension by Use of Vacation. After an employee's sick leave has been
exhausted, he or she may be granted permission to take any unused
vacation leave benefits he or she may have accrued.
G. Notice. The employee taking sick leave shall notify his or her immediate
supervisor either prior to or within four (4) hours after the time he or she is
scheduled to report for duty, or as otherwise established by departmental
regulations. When the absence is more than three (3) consecutive
working days, the employee must present to his or her Executive Director
a physician's certificate stating the cause of illness and that, in the
physician's opinion, the employee could not report to work because of
such illness or injury and that the employee is sufficiently recovered to
safely return to work. Such certificate shall be transmitted to the
Executive Director of Personnel Services with the report of the employee's
return to work.
A physician's certificate or other satisfactory written evidence of actual
illness or injury may be required after an absence of any duration less
than three (3) days.
H. Denial. No employee shall be entitled to sick leave with pay while absent
from duty because of sickness or injury purposely self - inflicted or caused
by willful misconduct; or, sickness or disability sustained while engaged in
employment other than employment by the City, for monetary gain or
other compensation, or by reason of engaging in business or activity for
monetary gain or other compensation.
Excess Usage. If sick leave is used in excess of that due and available an
employee, such excess sick leave will, first, be deducted from any
available vacation leave benefit; second, from the next scheduled salary
payment.
J. Necessity Leave. Each employee shall be afforded the opportunity to use
up to forty -eight (48) hours of sick leave per calendar year, on a non-

or her to report for duty; or e) attend to medical or dental appointments for

of any of the following events:

requirements, this benefit was added to the pay rate assigned to each
classification and reported as "salary" to CalPERS. Thereafter, pay levels
for SAMA classifications included this additional one percent (1.0 %)
deferred compensation benefit.

classification may at his /her option defer said compensation by directing
the City to deposit this amount (one percent of base pay) in their individual

an employee or group of employees or the Association concerning the
interpretation or application of specific provisions of this Agreement, or of the
rules and regulations governing personnel practices or working conditions of the
City, except, however, those matters specifically assigned to the jurisdiction of
the City Personnel Board by those provisions of the City Charter and the Civil
Service Rules and Regulations.
No employee shall suffer any reprisal because of filing or processing of a
grievance or participation in the Grievance Review Procedure.
19.2 Informal Process.
A. An employee must first attempt to resolve the grievance on an informal
basis through discussion with his or her immediate supervisor without
undue delay, but in no case, beyond a period of ten (10) calendar days
after the occurrence of the alleged incident giving rise to the grievance, or
when the grievant knew or should have reasonably become aware of the
facts giving rise to the grievance.
B. Every effort shall be made to find an acceptable solution to the grievance
through this informal means at the most immediate level of supervision.
C. In order that this informal procedure may be responsive, both parties
involved shall expedite this process. If, within five (5) working days, a
mutually acceptable solution has not been reached at the informal level,
the employee shall then set forth the grievance in writing, indicate the
nature of the action desired, sign it, and submit it in duplicate to his or her
immediate supervisor. At this point, the grievance review process
becomes formal. Should the grievant fail to file a written grievance, and in
the manner specified above, within ten (10) working days after first
discussing the grievance with the employee's immediate supervisor, the
grievance shall be barred and waived.
19.3 Formal Process.
A. If a grievance is not resolved through the informal process, and a written
grievance is filed within the time limits set forth above, the grievant's
immediate supervisor shall add his or her comments and any justification
25M -51
he or she considers proper, sign it, and forward it to the Department Head
without undue delay or, in no case, more than ten (10) calendar days.

manner and within the time limits specified, then a conference shall be
held at the request of the employee or the Department Head.

ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the request of the settlement. The
original of the grievance form and the Department Head's decision shall
be filed in the personnel records of the department.
D. If no satisfactory settlement has been reached at the departmental level,
the employee may, within ten (10) calendar days after being informed by
the Department Head of his or her decision on the matter, and the reasons
thereof, submit the grievance in writing to the City Manager, or his or her
duly authorized representative, for determination. Failure of the grievant
to take this action will constitute a waiver and bar to the grievance, and the
grievance will be considered settled on the basis of the Department
Head's response.
E. The City Manager or his duly authorized representative, after a careful
review, shall render a final decision on the merits of the grievance, in
writing, and return it to the grievant within fifteen (15) calendar days after
receiving the grievance. A copy of the written grievance to the City
Manager, or his or her duly authorized representative, and of the City
Manager's or his or her representative's written decision shall be filed in
the personnel records of the department and the grievant's personnel
jacket maintained in the Personnel Services Department.
