<br /> <br /> <br /> Vacation Leave Accrual Policy <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Vacation Leave Accrual Policy <br /> <br /> <br />Purpose <br />Vacation Leave is provided for the general health and welfare of city employees to enable paid <br />time off from work for personal leisure. <br /> <br />Paid vacation leave is provided for regular, full-time employees and on a prorated basis for eligible <br />part-time employees. To be eligible, part-time employees must work a set schedule with a <br />minimum of forty (40) hours per biweekly pay period. Most temporary, seasonal, and part-time <br />employees are not eligible for vacation benefits. <br /> <br />Accrual <br />Vacation leave is accrued based on consecutive years of leave-eligible service. To determine an <br />employee’s vacation accrual rate, years of service will include all continuous time the employee has <br />worked at the city in a position that is eligible for paid leave (including authorized unpaid leave). <br />Employees who are rehired after terminating city employment will not receive credit for their prior <br />service unless specifically negotiated at the time of hire. <br />Leave-eligible employees hired before December 31, 2020, may carry more than 240 hours of <br />vacation leave during a year but may not carry more than 240 hours forward to the next calendar <br />year. <br />Employees hired after January 1, 2021, shall accrue 120 working hours per year at the start of <br />eligible employment through the completion of their ninth (9th) year. These employees may not <br />carry more than 80 hours forward to the next calendar year but may carry more than 80 hours <br />during a calendar year. <br />Employees with fewer than eight (8) years of service as of January 1, 2021, may receive the new <br />accrual rate provided they accept and acknowledge the reduced annual carry over rate of 80 hours. <br />The request and acknowledgement shall be in writing. Employees will have until February 26, <br />2021, to make this election. Vacation balances over 80 must be used by December 31, 2021. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />763.635.1000 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ElkRiverMN.gov <br /> <br /> <br />
