17 <br /> <br />If there are extenuating circumstances (such as a serious health condition) during the calendar year where the <br />employee has exhausted their accrued leave banks, the HR Director will consider an employee’s request to <br />change their election to personal leave to Option B on a prorated basis. <br /> <br />Option B: Use as Time Off <br />On January 1, non-suppression employees will earn 88 hours of leave for use throughout the calendar year. <br /> <br />Employees who take Option B shall take 9 holidays off (72 hours at 8 hours per holiday) during city- <br />designated holidays and work two city-designated holidays (choice of two holidays to work, selected at the <br />beginning of the year). Non-suppression employees who work a 4/10 schedule shall supplement their time <br />off with accrued leave hours (with the exception of sick leave). <br /> <br />If the employee separates during the year, they will not be entitled to any paid holidays past the separation <br />date. <br /> <br />Those who are employed as of January each year and have elected to receive personal leave during open <br />enrollment of the year prior, non-suppression will receive 88 hours of personal leave for use throughout the <br />calendar year. Personal leave is intended to be used in the same manner as vacation and other accrued leave <br />from work; subject to supervisor/manager approval. If the employee is unable to utilize personal leave during <br />the calendar year, it will be cashed out in the last pay period of the year subject to the reporting rules under <br />the Department of Retirement Systems. For employees starting after January 1 of each year and elect to <br />receive personal leave, leave time will be pro-rated as follows: <br /> <br />Month of Hire  <br />Non-Suppression <br />Prorated Personal <br />Leave  <br />January  88 <br />February, March, & <br />April  72 <br />May  64  <br />June  56  <br />July & August  48  <br />September & <br />October  40  <br />November  32  <br /> <br />5. Change in work-shift <br />Employees who move between suppression and non-suppression may not change their option A/B election <br />for that year. Accrual rates for hours in this article will be accordingly adjusted.
