Length of service shall be measured from the employee's most recent full-
time date of hire with the Department.
Vacation time is accrued for any month in which the individual has been
employed prior to and including the fifteenth (15) of any month. The
accrual rate is based upon the years of full-time, continuous department
employment on the fifteenth of every month.
Paid sick leave and absences for jury or military reserve duty are
considered time worked for vacation accrual purposes.
If a holiday falls during a vacation week, holiday pay will be given in lieu
of a vacation day.
Any regular employee who is laid-off, retires, or resigns is entitled to
receive accrued vacation pay prorated to the date when active employment
ceases. Upon retirement a maximum of 2 times the annual amount of
vacation accrual will be paid at that time. When calculating accrued
vacation time, fractional hours shall be rounded up to the next full hour.
All accrued vacation time shall be paid in a lump sum to the employee’s
beneficiary, as specified in writing by the employee on an approved form,
if death occurs while employed by the Nashua Police Department. If no
beneficiaries are designated by the employee, the accrued vacation leave
will be paid to the employee’s estate.

employee's length of service for accrual purposes.
