DEFINITION OF ANNUAL LEAVE
Annual Leave is absence from work for which the

work. Annual Leave is earned and accumulated
each pay period at a rate dependent on the length
of the employee's County service. When Annual
Leave is used, and the amount of Annual Leave
that is taken at one time, are at the discretion
of the employee's Department Head within the
limitations of the employee's accumulation, of
necessity, the welfare and convenience of the
County and the continuation of the services the
department renders must be the foremost con-
sideration in allowing Annual Leave. An Annual
vacation is the most common use of Annual Leave,
although it may also be used for personal business,
to cover a period of illness after Sick Leave ,
has run out and many other uses.

COMMENTS ON RULE 24 and 24a
The new fringe benefit program completely replaces the current Sick Leave program with Personal
Leave (in conjunction with short and long term disability programs). As a result, Merit Rule 24 -
Sick Leave has been extensively revised to describe the accumulation and use of Personal Leave.
Employees with Sick Leave days in their bank when the new plan takes effect will have those days
placed in a Sick Leave Reserve bank. Merit Rule 24a - Sick Leave Reserve describes the circumstances
under which the Reserve may be used and its cash-in value. It should be noted that this is essentially
the same rule that was in effect regarding Sick Leave usage and cash-in prior to the implementation
of the new plan and is only new insofar as it no longer discusses the additional accumulation of Sick
Leave, only its use.
MERIT RULE 1/24 - SICK LEAVE
SECTION 1 - DEFINITION OF SICK LEAVE
A. Sick Leave is an absence from work for which
the employee is paid just as if at work, because
