Morning Briefing
In this edition of the Jumpline, I will provide a basic overview of different types of
leave – Annual, Holiday and Sick. This
article will focus on leave as it relates to
Operations Personnel who work 96 hours
per pay period. In a future article, I will
provide a leave overview for those personnel who work 40 hours per week.
Each holiday provides the member with either 12 hours of holiday time or 12 hours of pay at the employee’s regular rate.
The member can select whether to ‘bank’ the 12 hours or to
be paid for the 12 hours. If you desire to be paid for the holiday, contact your PAR holder and advise him/her that you are
requesting payment for the holiday. An alternate option is to
make the request for payment using the comment section of
your ePAR.
Hours worked:
In Operations, each member is scheduled to work 2,496 hours
per year, which is the equivalent of 104 shifts. There are 26
pay periods in a year and each pay period has 96 hours which
equates to a 48-hour work week.
Members who choose to ‘bank’ their time will have those 12
hours placed in their holiday leave bank. Members are able to
accrue all earned Holiday Leave without limit. (CBA Art 10.3)
Annual Leave:
Annual leave is accrued at 96 hours per year.
Annual leave may be accrued up to 750 hours and will be paid
upon separation. (CBA Art 10.4.F)
Annual Leave Bonus:
•
To recognize the length of continuous County service, employees are granted additional annual leave on their leave
anniversary date. The amount of longevity annual leave
earned is based on the number of years of continuous service.

Date.
