Section 4.00
Employees are strongly encouraged to use their accrued vacation.
Generally, employees must submit vacation plans to their supervisor
at least four weeks in advance of the requested vacation date.
Management reserves the right to determine when some or all
vacation time is taken. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring
adequate staffing levels and should attempt, when feasible, to resolve
conflict based on length of service. An employee, who wants to
change their vacation plan(s) after a schedule has been set, shall
lose their seniority consideration.
Employees who are unable to use their allotted vacation time due to
departmental scheduling or staffing problems, may, with the
approval of the City Manager, receive compensation for half the
remaining balance up to a maximum of forty (40) hours, whichever is
less. For example, an employee with a remaining balance of forty
(40) hours may sell twenty (20) hours; an employee with a remaining
thirty-five (35) hours, may sell 17.5 hours. Requests to receive
compensation in lieu of vacation should be made on the City's official
request form and submitted to Human Resources no sooner than six
(6) weeks of pending anniversary date. Employees may not carry
over unused vacation from one year to the next.
Employees who are entitled to a vacation of one-hundred twenty
(120) hours may take their full vacation at one time. Those who are
entitled to a vacation of more than one-hundred twenty (120) hours
may take a maximum of three (3) weeks consecutively, with the
balance to be taken separately as full weeks or as individual days.
In the event that a City observed holiday falls within a scheduled
vacation period, the hours for that holiday will not count as vacation
hours. Vacation time may be taken in hourly increments as long as
the period selected meets with departmental approval and is
recorded as hours. Increments of less than one (1) hour may not
be taken as vacation.
Other than a military leave of absence, all employees on a leave of
absence are required to use all accrued paid vacation time as part of
the leave, as specified in Section 4.06. In addition, employees on
unpaid leave of absence will not accrue any new vacation time during
the leave.

Section 4.00
Payment in lieu of vacation will be made for unused accrued vacation
at the time of separation, in the event that separation requirements
are met.
An employee holding a Classified position in the Pearland Police
Department will earn fifteen (15) working days vacation with pay each
year. When a Classified employee has been regularly employed in
the department for at least one year, they shall be entitled to use their
accrued vacation.
The Chief of Police, or his/her designee, shall designate the days of
the week during which a member of the department is not required to
be on duty and the days during which the member is allowed to be on
vacation (Chapter 142.0013 of the Local Government Code).

minimum of fifteen (15) working days vacation leave with pay after
the first year, as determined by Chapter 143 of the Local Government
Code, up to their 16th anniversary at which time they will be entitled
to 160 hours.
