In discussion Commissioner Wodtke asked if this was <br />paid vacation time and Administrator Wright said that the <br />accrued amount of vacation time one can earn was not being <br />changed, just that one can take it sooner. This request is <br />due mainly to the stacking up of vacation time and the <br />ensuing scheduling problems, i.e. there have been circum- <br />stances where someone has been on board 9 or 10 months and <br />was not eligible for vacation during the summer, and they <br />then take their vacation the next summer when they have <br />accrued 4 weeks. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that he could support the <br />Motion if he could be assured that it would be a unique <br />situation to grant someone vacation time close to their <br />6 -month probation. Administrator Wright explained that <br />vacation leave is subject to supervisory approval and that <br />employees cannot have been absent for more than 5 days in <br />the 6 -month probationary period to be eligible for vacation <br />time. <br />Attorney Brandenburg questioned the wording of staff <br />recommendation by asking if the 6 -month period accrues on a <br />pro -rata basis. Personnel Director, C. B. Hardin explained <br />that during the first 6 months it is accrued, but cannot be <br />used during that period. Dr. Hardin advised that should an <br />employee quit during the first year, he would receive <br />vacation pay for the period from six months to a year. He <br />reported that the are completely rewriting personnel rules <br />and regulations, but recommended this change be made at the <br />present time. <br />The Chairman CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />The Motion was voted on and carried <br />unanimously. <br />44 <br />
