Vacation time will be a use or lose benefit and may not be accumulated into the next year.

    For vacation leave purposes the term "working day" as it applies herein shall be computed on an eight (8) hours basis.

  2. The date of service to be used in determining vacation leave time accrual rate is the beginning date of the employee's current period of continuous service or the date on which the employee was initially employed or appointed, whichever is more recent.
  3. For vacation purposes, any reinstated employee shall be considered as a new employee regardless of the reason for separation, unless otherwise approved by the board of commissioners.
  4. Any official holiday falling within a period of vacation leave shall be charged as holiday leave rather than vacation leave. (Ord. #02-01-04, Jan. 2002, as amended by Ord. #022505, April 2005)
