prior to the return to work for:
a. any leaves of absence involving injuries that incapacitated the employee from performing
assigned job duties;
b. any leave of absence without pay for a disability that has been medically documented by a
physician.
RESIGNATION UPON FAILURE TO RETURN AFTER LEAVE:
4.16 Automatic Termination: Any employee who fails to report for duty within one working day
after the expiration of an authorized leave of absence may be terminated from employment and be
considered in effect resigned from county employment as of the last day of said leave. However,
his/her appointing authority may cancel such termination if he/she determines circumstances warrant
such cancellation. In all cases of termination, the employee may file a grievance as set forth in
Chapter VIII of these personnel policies and procedures. In the event such grievance is successful
and the employee is reinstated, the Commissioners Court will determine whether such reinstatement
shall be with or without a break in continuous service for purposes of accrual of sick leave and
vacation credits, or for determining the salary at which the employee shall be paid.
4.17 Disciplinary Action: Nothing in this section shall preclude an appointing authority from
taking disciplinary action against an employee pursuant to Chapter VII for absence without leave.
VACATION:
4.18 Employees Who May Earn Vacation:
a. Only eligible employees may earn vacation credit or become entitled to vacation.
b. Employees in temporary or seasonal status shall not earn any vacation credit or become
entitled to any vacation.
c. Where the employment status of an eligible employee is changed from regular employee
to temporary or seasonal, such employee shall not be entitled to any vacation and shall
discontinue earning vacation credit. Such employee shall be paid the monetary value of all
unused vacation credit subject to the limitations of paragraph 4.23.
d. Where the employment status of an employee is changed from temporary or seasonal to
regular, such employee upon becoming an eligible employee shall be credited with
vacation earned from that time as provided herein. None of the prior service in temporary
or seasonal status will be counted in computing any vacation.
4.19 Computation of Vacation: Effective with the adoption of this manual, and until this policy is
changed by the Commissioners Court, employees shall be entitled to receive vacation credit and
vacations on the following basis:
a. For non-law enforcement personnel, after 173.3 hours actually worked (excluding
overtime) said employees are authorized eight (8) hours of vacation credit.
