Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Zoning Code
Sec. 22-59. - Benefits.
(a)   Part-time employees who have worked for the urban county government for twenty-four (24) continuous months shall earn vacation leave and sick leave at a rate of five (5) hours per month. Vacation and sick leave shall be credited on the first pay period of each month for the prior month.
(1)   Vacation leave may only be utilized upon the supervisor's approval of the prior written request of the employee and may be used in any increment. Vacation leave will not be granted in excess of vacation credit earned by service prior to the starting date of leave. It shall be scheduled with regard to operating requirements, seniority of the employee, and, insofar as possible, with the written request of the employee. Absences due to sickness, injury or disability in excess of sick leave authorized in this chapter, for sick purposes, may, at the written request of the employee and with the written consent of the supervisor and the approval of the director, be charged to vacation leave credit. No refund of vacation time shall be allowed for illness incurred while on vacation leave. The vacation leave provided by this section is personal in nature and shall not be transferable from one (1) employee to another for any purpose. No vacation leave may be carried over from one (1) calendar year to the next, and employees shall not be paid for any accumulated vacation at the time of separation from government service. In situations where an employee is unable to obtain prior written approval, the employee may contact his supervisor and obtain verbal approval prior to using vacation leave. A leave form shall be submitted once the employee returns to work to document the verbal approval.
(2)   Sick leave credit may be utilized by employees in any increment when they are incapacitated for the performance of duty due to sickness or injury, when they are quarantined, for doctor's appointments, and for a period not to exceed three (3) days in the case of death in the employee's immediate family. The immediate family for this purpose shall be deemed to include the parents, spouse or qualified adult, spouse's or qualified adult's parents, children or qualified adult's children, brothers, sisters, grandparents and grandchildren. Employees may also utilize sick leave in the event of serious illness of parents, spouse or qualified adult or children. However, sick leave will not be granted in excess of sick leave credit earned by service prior to the starting date of leave. All foreseeable leave for such purposes shall require specific prior approval of the supervisor; and, except in extenuating circumstances, sick leave shall be requested prior to the beginning of the work shift on the date of the absence. No sick leave compensation may commence until or unless the employee, either personally or through some member of his family or other person, gives such notice, including the reasons for the absence from duty and where the employee can be located, subject to the approval of the supervisor. When a sick leave absence exceeds three (3) consecutive working days, the employee shall provide the supervisor with a medical certificate which indicates the nature and extent of the illness. The sick leave provided by this section is personal in nature and shall not be transferable from one (1) employee to another for any purpose. At the end of a calendar year, employees may carry over forty (40) hours of sick leave; however, employees shall not be paid for any accumulated sick leave upon separation from government service.
