Carryover beyond 240 hours of Personal Time Off will only be made in accordance with Section 21.3 or under special circumstances with approval from the City Administrator. Any employee leaving the service of the City in good standing will be compensated 100% for Personal Time Off up to 240 hours or amount allowed in Section 21.3 accrued to the day of separation provided said employee has served at least twelve (12) consecutive months prior to separation. Such pay for accumulated Personal Time Off will be at the same rate as the hourly rate of the employee’s base salary. Personal Time Off may not be used to extend an employee’s actual termination date. When a paid holiday falls on a working day during an employee’s Personal Time Off, the day of the holiday will not be counted as a day of Personal Time Off. One (1) day of Personal Time Off shall equal eight (8) hours for full-time employees. 21.2 Personal Time Off may not be used by an employee until the end of the employee’s probationary period. 21.3 A regular employee cannot carry into the next year more accrued PTO benefits than forty (40) hours in excess of the maximum of two hundred forty (240) hours.

Any PTO requests of less than five (5) consecutive work days that are submitted more than four (4) weeks in advance shall be posted for three (3) work days.
