APPENDIX A TO RESOLUTION 08-159
UPDATING SECTION 9.5 OF THE EMPLOYEE PERSONNEL MANUAL
New language:
9.5 Annual Transfer of Accumulated Flex Leave
Employees are required to transfer the value of 40 hours of accumulated flex leave into a
Health Care Savings Plan (HCSP) in accordance with plan design and IRS regulations. In
order to be eligible to transfer time, you must have, at a minimum, an accumulated flex leave
balance of two times the annual accrual plus 20 days (flex leave cap as defined in Section 9.4)
as of the first payroll in September. Employees who meet this eligibility requirement will be
required to transfer 40 hours of flex leave, based on the employee's current rate of pay, into
the HCSP. Any flex leave above the cap after the transfer will be forfeited. Transfer occurs
in October. Program administration for the HCSP is determined by the City Manager.
