Common use of Accrual and Use of Hours Clause in Contracts

Accrual and Use of Hours. Hours will only be accrued on a non-negligent and/or an accident-free basis and will be credited at the end of a two (2) year eligibility period. This eligibility period is established based on an employee’s graduation date from the academy. All hours will be recalculated based on this formula. Based on the above parameters, employees will accrue 20 hours of bank time per two (2) year period. The maximum accrual will be capped at 40 hours. These hours may be used at the employee’s option for disciplinary suspensions applied for traffic accidents and will not be used for any other purpose (i.e., the hours will not be compensated under any circumstance). This benefit will have no effect on decisions made by the Accident Review Board; however, the Accident Review Board will be responsible for determining the amount of hours an employee has in his/her bank based on the formula set out above and the accident records maintained by the Board.
