No town employee shall accrue vacation or be entitled to take any vacation time-off until after completing one full year of employment. Thereafter, an employee of the town, with the permission of his or her supervisor, may anticipate and take vacation up to the yearly maximum even though part of such vacation is unearned when taken, subject to the employee’s obligation to repay unearned vacation pay if the employee quits, dies or otherwise terminates employment with the town before the end of that employee’s vacation year. There shall be no prorating of vacation accumulation within a calendar month. Each employee’s vacation year shall commence with the first day of the month of such employee’s date of hire. Vacations are not cumulative beyond twelve months after the end of an employee’s vacation year. It is the intent that every employee schedule and take as vacation time-off the vacation earned; however, should the employee be required to work by his or her supervisor due to emergency conditions and, therefore, be unable to take vacation time-off within twelve months after the end of such employee’s vacation year, such employee shall be entitled to vacation pay for such earned but untaken vacation, payable at the end of twelve months following the employee’s vacation accumulation year. (Ord. 610 §5, 1979).
