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.
Transfers from another City Bargaining Unit or other City Department:
A.
Full-Time Employees: If a full-time employee transfers from another
City bargaining unit or other City Department, he shall be paid for all
accrued vacation leave by the appropriate City Department and shall not
transfer any vacation accruals. The full-time anniversary date of
continuous City employment shall be used to calculate a full-time
employee's length of service for accrual purposes.
Part-Time Employees: If a part-time employee transfers from another
City bargaining unit or other City Department, he shall be paid for all
accrued vacation leave by the appropriate City Department and shall not
transfer any vacation accruals. The full-time anniversary date of
continuous department employment shall be used to calculate a part-time
employee's length of service for accrual purposes.
Loss of accrued vacation time:
A.
If a probationary employee resigns, is laid-off, or is discharged any time
before completing his probationary period not exceeding one (1) year, he
shall lose all accrued vacation time.
During an unpaid leave of absence, an employee does not earn any
vacation time.
A vacation balance of not more than two times the annual accrual can be
earned by the member’s “anniversary date.” On the “anniversary date,”
should the vacation balance be over the two times maximum accrual, the
balance will be decreased to two times the annual accrual. The employee
will then be allowed to accrue vacation for that month and the following
months up to the “anniversary date”’.
