Vacation time shall be deemed credited during this period with accrual affected upon the employee's monthly anniversary date. Vacation accrual may be accumulated to not more than the appropriate maximum accumulation except upon the written request of the affected employee and approval of the Personnel Officer. In this event, an employee may be permitted to exceed the maximum accumulation by an amount not in excess of his accrual for a four month period. 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 Personnel Officer. Vacation leave accrual ceases when maximum accrual is reached. B.

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 than one hour nor for a period exceeding the number of accrued whole days, except upon the recommendation of the Police Chief. 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 Police Chief with due regard for the wishes of the employee and for the needs of the service. Page 14 of 18 CWA MOU expires 063007 3/7/2005
