1.04 Request for vacation leave must be initiated on forms submitted to the department
director and the City Administrator, as appropriate, at least two weeks prior to anticipated
vacation absences. Exceptions to this policy are granted on a very limited basis, taking
into consideration the good of the service provided by the City.
1.05 If the nature of the work makes it necessary to limit the number of employees on vacation
at the same time, the employee with the greater seniority will be given the choice of
vacation period if the employee's request is made thirty (30) days prior to the vacation
time desired. When requests are made less than thirty (30) days prior to the vacation time
desired, vacation will be granted on a first come first served basis.
1.06 Except as specifically approved in writing by the City Administrator and the City
Council, employees will not be allowed to carry over more than the number of hours they
earned in the two previous calendar years for vacation leave.
1.07 Any employee leaving City employment in good standing, after giving proper notice of
such termination of employment, will be compensated for vacation leave accrued up to
the maximum amount permitted and unused to the date of separation. An employee who
leaves employment will be given prorated vacation pay for that part of the year worked.
1.08 No employee will be permitted to waive vacation leave for the purpose of receiving
double pay.
1.09 Employees using earned vacation leave will be considered to be working for the purpose
of accumulating vacation or sick leave.
