Previous City employment periods, during which vacation was accrued, may be considered as continuous service for the purpose of computing vacation rate upon the written request of the appointing authority and approval of the City Manager. It is the intent that vacation time be used in time increments sufficiently long enough to permit the employee an adequate period of rest. The use of vacation time in less than weekly increments is to be discouraged. In no event may vacation be taken in increments of less neither than one hour nor for a period exceeding the number of accrued whole days, except upon the recommendation of the department director. The City Manager may authorize an eligible employee to incur a negative vacation balance of up to 40 hours. Vacation shall not be taken during the first six months of service. Vacations shall be taken at times determined by the department director with due regard for the wishes of the employee and for the needs of the service. In the event, one or more City holidays fall within an annual vacation leave, such holidays shall not be charged as vacation leave and the vacation leave shall be extended accordingly. No person shall be permitted to work for compensation for the City during his/her vacation except with prior approval of the City Manager. C.

The CPOA President will submit the requests the first payroll period in December. D. Accumulated Hours at Termination of Employment No person whose employment is terminated before the completion of six calendar months of continuous service shall be entitled to any vacation or pay in lieu thereof.
