On December 31 ', 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 1 SI of the next calendar year.) Proposed Solution: First, change the rollover date from yearend to fiscal yearend. To phase-in this change would require the rollover to be delayed from December 31, 2015 to June 15,2016 and would allow employees five-and-a-half additional months to use their leave before rollover. Second, we would also like to ask that employees who retiree (and wish to do so) be allowed to roll all accrued vacation in excess of 240 hours into sick leave on their last day of employment, regardless of the month in which they retire. This will avoid unnecessary interruptions in departmental operations by employees trying to use vacation time to avoid losing it. FINANCE OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION: Yes COUNTY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
