(a) Vacations. Full-time Municipality employees shall be entitled to vacation as follows:
Length of Service | Hours |
(1) after completion of 1 year of service | 80 hours |
(2) after completion of 5 years of service | 120 hours |
(3) after completion of 10 years of service | 160 hours |
(4) after completion of 15 years of service | 184 hours |
(5) after 21+ years of service | 200 hours |
(b) For the purpose of determining how many years of service an employee has, public service is defined as employment or service as an elected official or as an officer with any of the following and shall be counted as qualifying service:
(1) State departments, bureaus, boards and commissions.
(2) State supported universities, community colleges and technical institutions as academic or nonacademic personnel.
(3) Boards of county commissioners or other county officer's departments, including county homes, county hospitals and county welfare departments.
(4) Cities, villages and townships.
(5) School districts.
(6) Health districts.
(7) Public libraries.
(8) Special purpose districts established pursuant to the law, such as conservancy and park districts.
(9) Special authorities established pursuant to State law; for example, housing transportation, port and airport authorities.
(10) Retirement Systems, Bridge Commission, Ohio Turnpike Commission and Ohio Historical Society.
(11) Ohio National Guard (Air and Army).
(NOTE: Time purchased in military service, Federal Government or other states does not count towards longevity or vacation credit.)
(c) Prior service credit shall be reported and documented in Human Resources and documentation shall be housed in the employee's personnel file upon verification to ensure proper credit. Each calendar day of employment is service credit.
(1) The initial annual vacation allowance is contingent on the amount of accumulated qualifying service. Time spent in military service is counted provided the person in question was a City employee for at least ninety days before entering military service. Time spent on authorized leave of absence is counted. Part-time service is counted for longevity purposes, but an employee must be working on a full-time basis to actually earn vacation credit.
