Title
Repealing Section 2101.36 of the Toledo Municipal Code; enacting a new Section 2101.36; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Currently, Section 2101.36 of the Toledo Municipal Code, which addresses "Vacation" for administrative and managerial staff ("exempts") requires that employees should take vacation in the calendar year following the year in which it was earned. In the event an employee is not able to use his/her vacation in the year following the year it was earned, an employee may be allowed to "carryover" unused vacation time into the next year. Carryover vacation is then to be used by April 30 of the next year. In some cases, where an employee's director certifies that the employee was unable to use vacation time, an employee shall be paid for unused vacation.
Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, many exempt employees will be unable to use their earned vacation by the end of 2020. Section 2101.36 permits employees to carry over vacation to the following calendar year, but requires employees to use their carryover vacation prior to April 30th of the following year. In order to allow additional time for affected employees to use accrued vacation and to minimize monetary compensation for unused vacation time, this Ordinance seeks to amend Section 2101.36 to extend the date to use carryover vacation in 2021 from April 30 to September 30.
