COUNTY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
Harnett County Personnel Ordinance
Section 7. Vacation Leave — Maximum Accumulation
Annual leave may be accumulated without any applicable maximum until
December 31st of each calendar year. On December 31st, any employee with
more than 240 hours of accumulated leave shall have the excess accumulation
transferred to sick leave (only 240 hours are carried forward to January 1st of the
next calendar year).
Employees are cautioned not to retain excess accumulation of annual leave until
late in the calendar year. Due to the necessity to keep all County functions in
operation, large numbers of employees cannot be granted annual leave at any one
time. If an employee has excess leave accumulation during the latter part of the
year and is unable to take such leave because of staffing demands, the employee
shall receive no special consideration either in having the annual leave scheduled
or in receiving any exception to the maximum accumulation.
The County has a Shared Leave Program and it is provided in Section 23 of this
Article.
Section 8. Vacation Leave — Manner of Taking Leave
Vacation leave may be taken as earned by an employee subject to the approval of
the supervisor, with the exception that all department heads and other employees
so designated by the County Manager must take at least five (5) consecutive
workdays of accrued vacation leave per calendar year.
Section 9. Vacation Leave — Previous Leave Credit
Vacation leave credit accumulated by each employee as of the adoption of this
personnel administration policy shall be retained as of the effective date of this
policy.
