All Borough employees shall be entitled to such
vacation time as hereinafter set out in this chapter, provided they
meet all the following qualifications:
A. Shall have one year or more of continuous full-time
service with the Borough.
B. Shall not have been absent from work for more than
six consecutive months in the preceding calendar year.
C. Shall have at least 1,040 hours of employment by the
Borough in the vacation year.
In connection with this chapter, continuous
service shall date from the date of first employment by the Borough
until such time as such employee is discharged or laid off. In the
event an employee of the Borough is discharged or laid off and such
discharge or layoff shall continue for a period of time more than
six consecutive months, continuous service of such employee shall
be deemed to have terminated. If an employee shall voluntarily resign
or quit, such an act shall immediately terminate his continuous service.
An employee, although otherwise eligible under
this chapter for vacation benefits, shall be deemed to have forfeited
such benefits if his employment is terminated prior to January of
the vacation year.
The records of the Borough of Conway shall be
deemed conclusive in establishing the starting date of employment
under the provisions of this chapter. In the case of present employees,
the Secretary shall notify in writing each employee of the starting
date recorded for him, and such employees shall have a period of 30
days from said written notice to appeal to Council for change of such
starting date. In any such appeal Council's determination shall be
conclusive and binding.
Effective January 1, 1964, all eligible Borough
employees under this chapter shall receive a vacation corresponding
to such years of continuous service as shown in the following table:

Eligible employees shall be compensated for
said vacation time at their average rate of earnings per week for
the two months prior to their vacation.
Eligible employees shall, in writing, give notice
to their immediate supervisor or to Council of the requested vacation
time. Said written notice shall be given at least two months prior
to the requested vacation period.
Borough Council or the immediate supervisor
shall have the right to schedule, fix and assign vacation periods
for eligible employees for periods other than those requested by the
employees so as to maintain and ensure the continued orderly operation
of the Borough. In this regard preference will be given to those employees
having longer continuous service with the Borough in an attempt to
grant vacation periods at or near the requested period.
All eligible Borough employees shall receive
the following paid holidays: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
In this regard holiday pay shall be one day's pay at the rate then
in effect for such employee.
If an employee, either hourly or salaried, is
required to work on any of the aforementioned holidays, he shall then
receive double his regular hourly rate for the number of hours worked.
If the hours worked shall total less than eight hours, he shall then
receive his regular rate for such remaining hours so that his total
hours for which he is compensated shall be no less than eight. Salaried
employees shall be paid one extra day's wage for each holiday they
are required to work.
To become eligible for holiday pay as set forth
in this chapter, an employee of the Borough must meet the following
qualifications:
A. He must receive a set salary or hourly wage.
B. He must have worked a total of 160 hours since his
last hiring.
C. He must be working or on vacation during the payroll
period in which the holiday occurs.
D. He must work the scheduled day before and after the
holiday.
E. He must report to work on said holiday when he has
been scheduled to do so, otherwise no payment for said holiday will
be made to him.
The immediate supervisor of any eligible Borough
employees shall provide the Secretary with a listing of those eligible
to receive such holiday pay as provided for in this chapter.
