Annual leave must be taken in increments of no less than one (1) hour. Except as provided for employees converting to annual leave; no employee may carry over more than two hundred forty (240) hours of accumulated annual leave from one year to the next. In the event that an employee has in excess of two hundred forty (240) accumulated hours of annual leave after December 31 of any year, the employee's accrued annual leave shall be reduced to two hundred forty (240) hours. Employees who converted to annual leave and who, from vacation and sick leave, exceed the maximum carry-over limitation, may carry over, as a maximum, the same number of hours to which their accumulated vacation and sick leaves converted. However, should an employee's accrued annual leave exceed this maximum after December 31 of any year, the employee's accrued annual leave shall be reduced to the maximum as computed herein. Once per year, on either the first pay period after April 1 or the first pay period after October 1, any employee who has completed at least seven (7) years of service with the City may exchange up to twenty-four (24) hours of accumulated annual leave for payment equal to twenty-four (24) hours of pay at his/her current rate. Any employee who has completed at least fifteen (15) years of service with the City may exchange up to forty (40) hours accumulated annual leave for payment equal to forty (40) hours of pay at his/her existing rate. In addition to the foregoing, any employee who converted vacation and sick leave to annual leave and who exceeds the maximum carry-over limitation of two hundred forty (240) hours, may exchange up to an additional forty (40) hours of pay per year at his/her existing rate for that accumulated leave in excess of two hundred forty (240) hours. Should an employee elect to exchange such additional leave, as hereinbefore provided, that additional exchange shall reduce the employee's maximum hours by the same number of hours exchanged for pay. 9-4 Donation of Sick Leave With the expressed written approval of the City Council, City employees having accrued sick leave may be allowed to donate a portion of their sick leave to fellow employees experiencing a major life threatening disease or condition suffered by the employee, their spouse or minor children.
