The maximum is pro-rated for regular part-time employees. Employees <br /> with a total of two hundred forty (240) hours accumulated vacation may continue to <br /> accumulate hours earned during a current calendar year provided that those additional <br /> vacation hours are used within that year. If said accumulated vacation hours in excess of <br /> the maximum are not used by December 31 of any given year, then said hours shall <br /> lapse. In no event can any employee be paid greater than two hundred forty (240) hours <br /> of accumulated vacation upon separation or retirement. <br /> COVID-19 Special Exception: Due to the pandemic-related travel restrictions in 2020, the <br /> vacation carry over cap will be waived. Employees who have more than 240 hours in their <br /> vacation bank at the end of 2020 will be allowed to carry the full amount into 2021. As of <br /> December 31, 2021 the cap of 240 will be reinstated, and the regular provisions of 14.3 <br /> will resume. Any employee who leaves employment during 2021 will receive no more <br /> than two hundred forty (240) hours annual leave paid at the time of termination or <br /> retirement. <br /> The remainder of the CBA will remain unaltered. <br /> By acceptance and signature below, both parties agree that these solutions were reached <br /> through mutual understanding. <br /> I I P a g e <br />
