[Amended 4-7-1993 by Ord. No. 93-8-1088]
After completion of six months of service, each employee shall be entitled to one workweek of vacation. If the six months is completed prior to the end of the year in which service started, vacation may be taken that year, and any additional full months in that year will be compensated for at the rate of 1/12 of 10 days times the daily rate of pay. If the six months is not completed in the same year that service started, all full months completed in the initial year will be compensated at the end of six months, as above. At the completion of 12 months of service, the employee shall be entitled to a second workweek of vacation. Thereafter, after the calendar year in which the probationary period expired, each employee shall be entitled to two workweeks' vacation plus he or she will accrue one additional day for each additional calendar year worked. Total vacation time shall not exceed 32 workdays. In no case is an employee entitled to more than two workweeks' vacation in a calendar year until such time as he/she has accrued additional days as above. Annual vacation, after the initial calendar year, is earned at the rate of 1/12 of entitled vacation for each month completed in the year; e.g., if an employee leaves service on June 30 of a year, he/she shall be entitled to 1/2 of that year's vacation. Should he/she have already taken more than 1/2 of that year's vacation, the compensation for that portion exceeding 1/2 shall be calculated as above and deducted from the final paycheck.

A. 
Part-time employees.
(1) 
Part-time employees who work less than 20 hours of the normally scheduled workweek within a department shall receive vacation, on a proportionate basis, as follows: After 12 months continuous service, part-time employees will be entitled to one week's paid vacation, which must be taken within the calendar year of entitlement or, if not taken, is forfeited.
(2) 
"One week's vacation" shall be defined as being the pay for the number of hours the employee is scheduled to work per week, regardless of the number of days the employee works. That is, if an employee works six hours a day for three days a week, that employee is entitled to 18 hours of vacation pay annually. Should an employee work four hours a day for four days a week, that employee is entitled to 16 hours of vacation pay annually.
(3) 
If a part-time employee occasionally works additional hours, such hours will not count towards additional vacation pay.
B. 
"Vacation" shall be defined as being the number of hours the employee is scheduled to work per week (regardless of the number of days the employee works), divided by the number of hours per week if the employee were full-time, times the number of days an employee would be entitled to if the employee were full-time. That is, if an employee works seven hours per day, three days a week, (and the normal workweek is 35 hours), that employee is entitled to 2 1/35 of the vacation due to them if they were working full-time. After the calendar year in which the probationary period expired, the employee is entitled to that proportion of two workweeks vacation plus he/she will accrue the same proportion of one additional day for each calendar year worked. All vacation days will be rounded to the nearest whole number.
