and will not be accumulated from year to year. Floating holiday time in an employee's last
fiscal year of City employment will be pro-rated based on which of the four holidays have
passed at the time of separation from City service. Employees who have not used this pro-
rated amount of floating holiday time for their last fiscal year shall be paid off in cash for
the unused amount upon separation. Employees who use floating holiday time and leave
