In th ensuing years, the maximum limits have created difficulties for employees on exten ed sick leave. The Civil Service Commission has examined the rules covering maxim vacation accrual limits and eligibility for sick leave and vacation use, and deter fined that these two rules can be in conflict. Therefore, a revision of subsection (e) o Rule 2.02.8.2. has been proposed. It is my RECOM ENDATION: That Council amend Civil Service Rule 2.02.B.2.(e) to allow for accumulation over the maximum limit in cases of extended sick leave. (See attached) BOARD/COP~IMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At its meeting of September 10, the Civil Service Commission voted unanimously to recommend that Civil Service Rule 2.02.B.2.(e) be amend d to allow for accumulation over the maximum limit in cases of extended sick leave. DISCU SION: Employees who have accumulated vacation up to or near the maximum have an op ortunity to take vacation or, if the maximum is exceeded, forfeit further vacation accru 1. In cases of extended sick leave, however, an employee cannot use the vacation witho t forfeiting the use of sick leave. If sick leave is used, the vacation which other ise would have been available for use is forfeited. In or er to prevent the use of sick leave (when eligible) from conflicting with the rule egarding maximum vacation accrual, a rule change is being recommended which would allow accrual of vacation over the maximum limit when an employee is on exten ed sick leave. The proposed rule, however, will require that the employee reduc the excess balance to the appropriate level within six months after returning to wo k or forfeit the excess accumulation. The c ange will not affect employees who allow their vacation accumulation to exceed the m ximum through oversight, and these employees will continue to forfeit any vacation which accrues over the maximum.
