Common use of Vacation Cap Clause in Contracts

Vacation Cap. No employee may accrue more than 250 hours of vacation leave. Vacation accruals will resume once the employee’s accumulated vacation balance falls below the allowable cap limit. Employees may, for special situations, i.e., extended medical leave, request an increase in their cap. Each request would need to be in writing, submitted through the department, and receive the approval of the Police Chief and the City Manager. Such requests would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and would be evaluated based on the reason for the request. This additional vacation accrual could not exceed one-half of the employee’s regular annual vacation accrual. In no case would the addition over the cap be extended beyond one additional year from date of approval.
