50 <br />ARTICLE XIV <br /> <br />14.0 ASSOCIATION LEAVE <br /> <br />The Association shall be provided with one thousand and forty hours (1040) hours of paid leave <br />annually to be used by Association Board members, including the President, to conduct Association <br />business. <br /> <br />The 1040 hours are to be used for release from work. The 1040 hours cannot be used by an employee <br />during an employee’s off duty hours and then applied to work hours. <br /> <br />These hours do not count as hours worked for overtime purposes. <br /> <br />The 1040 hours must be tracked by use of a separate payroll code so that each time it is used it is <br />specifically accounted for on the time sheet of the employee who uses it. <br /> <br />Employees wishing to use this leave must seek approval from the Executive Director of Human <br />Resources or designee at least 72 hours in advance and must receive approval to take the leave. <br />Approval will be granted if reasonable notice is provided, however, the City reserves the right to <br />rescind an approval if it believes there are significant operational reasons that require the employee <br />to be at work or in cases of emergency. <br /> <br />This Association Leave does not accrue. Each January 1st there will be 1040 hours to be used for <br />the calendar year. If any of the 1040 hours are not used, they do not carry over to the next year. <br /> <br />The POA President is responsible for keeping track of the hours used by the Association and will <br />inform the Executive Director of Human Resources or designee each quarter of the hours used by <br />the employees. <br /> <br />In the first pay period of each calendar year, each member of the Association shall have two and one <br />half (2.5) hours deducted from their vacation accrual to pay for this leave. <br /> <br /> <br />
