Except in the first service year any employee laid off for less than fifteen (15) consecutive days, or precluded from working by inclement weather which prevents normal performance of duty followed by re-employment by the city, shall be considered to be on leave without pay for such period. This applies only for the purpose of determining vacation rights.
SECTION HISTORY
Based on Ord. No. 90,365.
(a) A half-time employee, as defined by Section 4.110(a) of this Code, is entitled to the same vacation benefits as a full-time employee; provided, however, that pay for such vacation shall be prorated on the basis of the number of hours normally scheduled to be worked in relationship to the number of hours required for full-time employment (2,080 hours) in the class of position.
(b) When a half-time employee becomes a full-time employee or when a full-time employee becomes a half-time employee and such employee is not otherwise disqualified, all accrued and accumulated vacation time for which the employee has been credited up to the date of such change of work schedule shall remain credited to the employee in the amounts so accrued and accumulated without increase or decrease because of the change of work schedule. When a full-time or half-time employee becomes an intermittent employee all accrued and accumulated vacation time for which the employee has been credited as of the date of the change of status shall, at the option of the employee, either be:
(1) compensated in cash, in a lump sum, or
(2) frozen without increase or decrease to be made available if the employee becomes full-time or half-time; provided, however, an employee who has elected to freeze the accruals may request a lump sum cash payment at a subsequent date.
If a full-time or half-time employee becomes an intermittent employee prior to completing a qualifying year, and returns to full-time or half-time status without break in service, all time previously served as a full or half-time employee shall be credited toward the qualifying year. Time served as an intermittent employee shall not be credited toward such qualifying year.
(c) Intermittent employees as defined by Section 4.110(b) of this Code shall not be entitled to accrue or use vacation benefits, except, however, any employee who prior to the effective date of this ordinance had qualified for vacation benefits shall be entitled to continue to accrue and use such benefits, as long as such employee does not have a break in service.
