Procedure

Employees who join WPCC during the fiscal year will be eligible for the full amount of Personal Observance Leave provided under this policy to be used during the fiscal year.  The following processes apply for existing employees, new hires, and reinstatements:

• At the time this Policy goes into effect, eligible employees will be credited with leave.
• Newly hired employees shall be credited with leave immediately upon their employment with WPCC.
• Separated employees that are re-employed within the same fiscal year with a Participating Agency, will receive the same amount of leave as a newly hired employee unless they previously utilized the leave within the same fiscal year.
• For transfers between Participating Agencies within the fiscal year, unused Personal Observance Leave will transfer to the new employee’s new agency.
• If an employee moves from a Participating Agency to a non-participating agency, unused Personal Observance leave will not transfer to the non-participating agency.
• If an employee moves from a non-participating agency to a Participating Agency, the employee will receive leave as a newly hired employee, as indicated above.
