Any employee who is off the job for more than 30 consecutive calendar days will not accumulate paid days off (PDOs) and vacation credits during the period of absence. Employees may accumulate one PDO per month, except in January and December when hourly employees should receive one and one-half PDOs, to a maximum of 13 per calendar year. Eligible amount of vacation is based on the number of years of seniority as of January 1. If an employee ends his or her employment with the city, he or she shall receive payment for any unused sick leave/vacation days that the employee has accumulated.
