[Res. of 7-15-1968]
Only employees who have been in continuous full-time employment
for one year are eligible for vacation leave. This eligibility shall
include employees hired by the city one year prior to adoption of
this plan.
[Res. of 7-15-1969]
Duration of vacation leave will be granted as stipulated in the individual contracts entered into by the City of Poughkeepsie with the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, Local 596 International Association of Fire Fighters, City of Poughkeepsie Unit, Dutchess County Chapter, Civil Service Employees Association and any other group that may be recognized by the Common Council in the future. For the first five years of employment, vacation will be after the anniversary date of employment. If a department head feels that due to peculiarities of certain positions it is to the advantage of the department to permit an employee to take vacation prior to anniversary date, the department head may request same, in writing, from the City Administrator. In such instance the employee must have completed nine months of service. After completion of five years of service, an employee may take vacation leave after the first day of January of each year insofar that it does not conflict with seniority rights as outlined in Section 7-28.
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
Vacation leave will be granted on a seniority basis by department
heads insofar that it does not conflict with efficient operation of
the department. In the event that a department has more than one employee
performing similar duties, only those employees will be permitted
to take vacation at one time which will ensure efficient operation
of that department. However, seniority will be the determining factor
as to priority of vacation. Employees transferring within the several
departments of the city government will carry their seniority from
one department to another, and such seniority will be used by the
department head in determining the seniority of employees in that
department.
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
(a)
Employees entitled to vacation leave and requesting the same shall
submit such request to their superior on forms provided not fewer
than four weeks prior to the first day of vacation. The department
head will submit the approved request to the Personnel Officer immediately
upon approval. Due to the detail work required to process vacation
leave, failure to submit requests within the time specified may disqualify
pay in advance. Salary in advance will be paid only when employees
eligible for three or four weeks vacation take the full vacation at
one time.
(b)
Vacation leave will be paid in one check, however, deductions will
be computed on individual week basis.
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
In the event that an employee does not elect to take full vacation
in one calendar year, that employee will be permitted to accrue not
over one week for any following year.
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
(a)
Employees retiring from service with the city shall be allowed accrued
vacation leave prior to date of retirement. However, the Personnel
Department should be consulted as to computing this time in determining
the date of retirement.
(b)
Accrued vacation of employees dying while in the service of the city
shall be paid to the legal heirs of the deceased employee, computed
on a pro rata basis from anniversary date of appointment if demise
is within first five years of employment. After five years, the time
will be computed from January first. In each instance accrued vacation
leave from prior years will be added and any vacation leave taken
will be deducted.
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
Employees resigning from service with the city will be eligible
for unused vacation leave as appearing on the employees records in
the Personnel Department, including accrued vacation from prior years.
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
Employees whose positions are absorbed by other governmental
agencies shall be eligible for accrued vacation due them prior to
their transfer. However, if for some reason it is impossible for these
employees to take their accrued vacation prior to the transfer, the
city will pay these employees for accrued vacation computed from the
first working day after severance from city service.
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
Other types of leave will not be permitted to be used to augment
vacation leave with the exception of compensatory time provided for
elsewhere in this plan. However, employees who have used up sick leave
time and who are determined to be sufficiently incapacitated to return
to work may apply accrued vacation leave for additional time.
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
Employees who fail to return the first working day after vacation
shall not be paid for that day and all succeeding days unless they
formally notified their superior, in writing, as to the reason for
their inability to return to work. In the event that the employee
is not able to personally notify his superior, he will designate some
person to notify his superior for him. If due to extenuating circumstances
it is impossible for the employee or another person to report, this
will be taken into consideration when the employee is capable of reporting
his reason for inability to work. Employees who are determined to
be capable to return to work and who do not report within 10 working
days from the last day of vacation will be deemed to have resigned
from their job and will be stricken from the city roster.
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
Each employee must take the first two weeks of vacation in one
request. The balance of current and accrued vacation may be broken
up in the number of days desired. Requests must be made for the days
prior to taking them.
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
Vacation time will accrue for the first six months while under
disability time off under § 207-a and 207-c of the General
Municipal Law or under workmen's compensation.
[Res. of 7-15-1968]
Employees suspended from duty will forfeit all accrued vacation
time at time of suspension. Upon reinstatement to the job, all vacation
leave accrued at time of suspension will be reinstated to his credit.
