Discussion and possible action to authorize a one-time exemption to Personnel Policy 9.03(b) ANNUAL LEAVE specifically and only for the employees that will surpass the current annual leave cap and allow for the transfer of that excess annual leave hours from the current fiscal year (Fiscal Year 2019-2020) to the subsequent fiscal year (Fiscal Year 2020-2021); and any other matters incident thereto.
Issue: During the ongoing pandemic, many employees have been unable to take annual leave in an effort to maintain adequate staffing within their departments.
Solution: Allow an exemption to this policy considering the extenuating circumstances in which many employees found themselves due to this life changing event.
Result: Employees will be able to utilize their annual leave whenever their authorized leave becomes reasonable.
