Vacation

VACATION

Technically, you are not entitled to take your vacations until you reach the anniversary date of your employment. In practice it is often necessary for your department to schedule your vacation in advance of the time you have “earned” it. Should you leave the employment of the City prior to your anniversary date, you will be required to repay any unearned time you may have used.

For most employee groups, unused vacation may not be carried over into the next year unless a vacation planned for any of the last three months of the year is canceled at the request of management. Should this be the case, up to one week of that vacation may be carried over into the first three months of the next year. Check with your supervisor to see if any special provisions apply to unused vacation within your union or employee group.

The following may vary by employee/bargaining unit contract. For more information check with your supervisor or payroll clerk (based on full-time employment):

• 3.7 hours per pay period for employees who have completed less than 4 years of active service.
