§ 32-3. Annual leave and holidays.

(a)

Annual leave. Five days annual leave shall be earned on the anniversary date of employment of each permanent, municipal employee with less than five full years of service with the village as a permanent employee. Then, days of annual leave shall be earned on the anniversary date of employment of each permanent municipal employee with five or more full years of service with the village as a permanent employee. Employees shall not carry over or accumulate annual leave from one anniversary date of employment to another. Annual leave may not be taken in less than one-half hour increments.

(b)

Annual leave with approval. Annual leave may be taken as earned by an employee with the approval of the employee's department head; however, vacation leave is permissive and may be denied by the head of the department or the mayor when conditions are such that the ordinary work of the village could not be performed adequately if vacation leave is granted.

(c)

Work during holidays. Employees required to work on an observed holiday shall receive compensatory time or overtime pay, each at the rate of time and one-half, consistent with the needs of the employee's department. Holidays observed by the village shall not be counted as vacation leave. All employees will receive full pay for such days that are designated as official holidays by the board.
