Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version
  1. Effective January 1, 1975, the terminal leave provision for all employees except as provided in subsections b. and c., below shall be as follows: Terminal leave with pay shall be granted prior to final separation to employees who have completed at least ten (10) years of service on the basis of one (1) day of terminal leave for each two (2) days of accumulated sick leave up to a maximum of one hundred-twenty (120) days of terminal leave. Such leave shall be computed on the basis of work days rather than calendar days.
  2. Any employee who as of January 1, 1975 had a minimum of fifteen (15) years of service as of said date may elect to receive upon retirement a terminal leave of one (1) calendar month for every ten (10) years of service pro-rated for a fractional part thereof in lieu of any other terminal leave. However, any sick leave taken by such employees subsequent to July 1, 1974 in excess of an average annual usage of six (6) days per year shall be deducted from the number of days of terminal leave to which the employee would otherwise be entitled at the time of retirement, if the employee chooses to receive terminal leave under this subsection.
  3. In the case where an employee has exhausted all or most of the employee's accrued sick leave due to a major illness, the agency head, in the agency head's discretion, may apply two and one-fifth (2 1/5) work days for each year of paid service as the basis for computing terminal leave in lieu of any other terminal leave. An employee's request for the application of this subsection shall not be unreasonably denied. The denial of an employee's request may be appealed solely to the Commissioner of Labor Relations.
  4. Where an employee has an entitlement to terminal leave and the City's fiscal situation requires that employees who are terminated, laid off or retired be removed from the payroll on or before a specific date, because of budgetary considerations, the Employer shall provide a monetary lump sum payment for terminal leave in accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 31, dated June 24, 1975.
