[1977 Code, § 1-801]
This chapter shall apply to all full-time city officers and employees except those operating under the jurisdiction of a school, utility, or other separate board or commission. A full time officer or employee is one who works a minimum of 1800 hours per year for the city.
(1) 
Paid time off (P.T.O.) may be used for absences for which the employee is to be paid. It is used for illness, personal time, holidays, vacations, etc.
(2) 
P.T.O. starts accruing when an employee has been hired full time. P.T.O. stops accruing upon the day of termination.
(3) 
Accrued paid time off accrues against actual time worked or leave time if comp time is used for leave and is based on the following schedule:
8%
0-1 Year
10%
2-10 Years
12%
11-15 Years
14%
16+
(4) 
The philosophy of a paid time off program is to give an employee a break from his work so the he can return to his work in a refreshed condition. It is expected that the employee will take all 8 holidays and at least 5 days of vacation time each year.
(5) 
Part-time and temporary employees are not eligible for P.T.O.
(6) 
P.T.O. will not be accrued on overtime, therefore, P.T.O. time base for accrual will not exceed 80 hours in any given pay period.
(7) 
If there is no accrued P.T.O. the employee may not be paid for absences.
(8) 
Fractions of a day off will be allowed if the time has been requested and properly scheduled.
(9) 
A resigning employee must give two weeks notice and work out this notice before he/she can receive accrued P.T.O. No P.T.O. may be taken during this two-week notice.
(10) 
Upon forced termination or death of employee, the employee or beneficiaries will be paid any balance of P.T.O. he/she may have accrued.
