4.19 Computation of Vacation: Effective with the adoption of this manual, and until this policy is

vacations on the following basis:

overtime) said employees are authorized eight (8) hours of vacation credit.

overtime) law enforcement employees are authorized eight point six and one half (8.6) hours
of vacation credit.
c. After completing fourteen (14) years of continuous service, that employee's annual
accrued vacation credits prescribed in sub-paragraphs a. and b. above are increased by
twenty-five (25%) percent.

accrued vacation credits prescribed in sub-paragraphs a. and b. above are increased by sixtysix
(66%) percent.
e. Paid holidays immediately preceding, immediately following, or wholly within the
vacation period shall not be charged as vacation.
f. In computing vacation credits, employees will be allowed to continue earning
vacation credits during time away from the job which is taken for vacation purposes, and
provided that employee returns to work for at least one full month following the vacation
absence.
4.20 Priorities for Granting Vacation, Vacation Schedules, Holidays:
a. The needs of public service, and;
b. The needs of the employee.
4.21 Carry Over of Accumulated Vacation Credit: An eligible employee may accumulate
vacation days from the year earned and any unused portion of vacation may be carried over to the
next year or years. Pursuant to an order by Commissioners Court, adopted December 20, 1995, the
maximum number of vacation credit hours to be accumulated at any time by any Nueces county
employee is 240. Employees having more than 240 hours accumulated after September 30 of each
year, 1996, will lose those excess hours. [As amended 2/29/1996]
