Background:
|
On August 31, 2023, the Board adopted Resolution 2324R-001 on Time Off for Mental Health, which resolved that the district continue the practice of periodic compensation for unused vacation time. Many individuals have not used their earned vacation time benefit. Vacation time may accumulate to a point where an employee is no longer earning it. The administration is requesting approval of vacation time compensation for employees who submit the written request form and who have at least 88 hours of earned vacation time accumulated.
|
|
Fiscal Impact Statement:
|
The fiscal impact to compensate eligible employees for unused vacation time, as outlined in this item, will be an estimated $1.2 million, depending on how many employees participate.
|
|
Implementation and Assessment Plan
:
|
The minimum vacation pay request is one day (8 hours), and the maximum is not to exceed one week (40 hours). The vacation compensation request would reduce the employee's remaining vacation time. An employee would need to have at least 80 hours remaining in their vacation balance after the payout to be eligible.
For example, an employee that chooses to participate and has 88 hours of vacation time could apply for 8 hours to be paid at their regular hourly rate leaving a remaining balance of vacation time of 80 hours.
Vacation compensation is not pensionable pay. Approval of this item outlines vacation time compensation by February as well by June for eligible employees.
|
|
Recommendation:
|
Your Committee recommends that the Board approve the vacation compensation for eligible employees as outlined in this item.
