DISCUSSION
The City Council approved the three MOUs with provisions allowing employees to cash out vacation leave at two designated pay periods each year: July 1 and/or December
15. The current language would result in employees receiving vacation cashed out in January of next year rather than in December of this year as intended by both parties.
Accordingly, the language is being adjusted to match the original intent of both sides and allow employees who cash out vacation in December to receive their money in the same calendar year.
