A) SPOA Leave Bank:

Any unit member may donate up to a maximum of ten (10) hours annually of either vacation time or accumulated compensatory time off to a Leave Bank for the exclusive use of the Association. All such donations shall be with the written authorization of the unit member and shall be in hourly increments.

B) Cash in Lieu of Vacation Time Off:

City employees may elect cash in lieu of vacation leave accrual subject to the following limitations:
1) In compliance with IRS regulations, employees must make an irrevocable election to receive a cash payment in lieu of vacation leave hours prior to accruing those hours.

Employees must submit an irrevocable election form to the Finance Department no later than December 31 of the year prior to the year in which the vacation leave will be accrued and paid out.
2) Employees must have a minimum of 100 hours of accrued vacation on the books as of December 31st of the calendar year prior to the distribution to be eligible to request a cash-in-lieu payment. Employees with more than 80 hours, but less than 100 hours accrued vacation time on the books as of December 31st of the calendar year prior to the distribution may apply to the City Manager for approval of a cash-in-lieu benefit for hours in excess of 80 hours.
3) Employees may request a cash in lieu payment for up to 80 hours of vacation in any calendar year.
4) Employees shall designate the payroll date on which they wish to receive the cash payment, at the time of the request. The City finance department will cash out the requested hours no sooner than the pay period following the accrual of the entire number of requested hours sold. For example, a full-time employee accruing eighty (80) hours of vacation leave per year accrues at a rate of 3.0769 hours per pay period.

It will take this employee seven (7) pay periods to accrue twenty (20) hours sought to be cashed out. Therefore, the employee could not receive a cash payment for twenty (20) hours until the eighth pay period of the year. The amount of vacation cash-out is limited to the amount of vacation leave accrued during the calendar year.

C) Use of Leave Reference Table
Employees are required to use accrued leaves before a leave of absence without pay as shown in the following table:
