Program Description:
61
711RA
EVTO is a special temporary program through which employees may individually volunteer
to help reduce County Expenditures during periods of budgetary shortfall by taking one or
more unpaid leaves of absence without the full loss of benefits usually associated with
unpaid leave. This program will assist in achieving budgetary savings without significant
adverse impact on critical public services.
Program Requirements:
The EVTO program includes the following elements and requirements:
-- Implementation of the provisions of the Enhanced Voluntary Time – Off Program within
each Department shall be subject to prior authorization by the Chief Executive Officer.
-- The Chief Executive Officer may establish procedures and issue administrative
instructions regarding the operation of the Enhanced Voluntary Time-Off Program.
-- In order to maintain critical public services, all requests by employees for unpaid EVTO
leave must be in writing and be approved in advance by the Department Head or his/her
designee.
-- During specific times each fiscal year, employees who wish to participate in EVTO
will pledge the number of hours to be taken as EVTO. This will assist the
departments in determining projected savings.
