2 3.1.4, and the employee shall have the dollar value placed in the City’s Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP) Account currently provided by Nationwide on the employee’s behalf.
Section 3.1.4.2 - Separation from the City
Employees separating from the City have the following options regarding their accrued Annual Leave:
1. Paid in cash: Employees can be paid (as taxable wages) for their accrued Annual Leave as described in Section 3.1.4.
2. Deferred Compensation: Employees may make an election at least one pay period prior to separation to contribute the value of accrued Annual Leave to the employee’s deferred compensation account provided under the City’s 457(b) plan. Contributions of Annual Leave to the 457(b) plan may not cause the employee to exceed the maximum annual deferral limitation for the year in which the contribution is made. If an employee chooses this option, any accrued Annual Leave that exceeds the maximum annual deferral limitations will be paid to the employee as a taxable cash payment.
3. Split between Cash and/or Deferred Compensation: Employees may elect to receive any portion of the value of their accrued Annual Leave as taxable cash with the remainder going into their deferred compensation account, up to the maximum amount permitted under the IRS Code.
Section 3.1.4.3 Irrevocable Election to Cash Out Annual Leave On or before December 31 of each calendar year, the first year being 2024, an employee may make irrevocable elections to cash out Annual Leave that will be earned in the following calendar year. The employee must have a balance of at least 80 hours of annual leave remaining after each cash out. Annual leave cashed out can be taken in the following ways or in a combination of these options, as determined by the employee when making the irrevocable election:
1. The dollar value can be paid to the employee in cash as taxable wages; or
2. The dollar value placed in the employee’s deferred compensation account up to the maximum permitted by law.
In addition to the above, an employee who has an “unforeseen emergency” (defined as an unanticipated emergency that is caused by an event beyond the control of the employee and that would result in severe financial hardship to the employee if early withdrawal were not permitted) shall be entitled to make a request to the City Amendment to Executive Resolution No 2024-118
