(B) Accumulation. An employee may carry a maximum accumulation of 60 days forward from one fiscal year to the next. For purposes of this section, the fiscal year ends on the last day of the last full pay period in June each year.
(C) Termination of county employment. Upon termination of county employment, a regular employee shall be paid for no more than 60 days of annual leave accumulated during preceding years, plus any annual leave accrued in the current fiscal year. The rate of payment shall be based on the employee’s regular pay rate at the time of termination. In case of termination due to the employee’s death, payment shall be made to the employee’s estate or designated beneficiary. An employee who leaves county employment while on initial or extended initial probation is not compensated for annual leave.
