SUBJECT:
Authorizing Vacation Usage
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)$BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the use of thirty (30) hours of vacation during the month of August 1996 for Linda Hood, employee
#53822.
BACKGROUND
After an extensive recruitment process, the Human Resources Department selected an individual to fill the
vacant Human Resources Systems Coordinator position. This position was created to provide the Human
Resources Department with the technical staff and expertise necessary to assist with the implementation of
the County-wide Human Resources/Payroll Computer System. The individual hired was assigned as a
member of the Human Resources/Payroll System Implementation Team.
JUSTIFICATION
Due to the aggressive time frame in which to implement the new County-wide Human Resources/Payroll
Computer System, individuals assigned to the Human Resources/Payroll System Implementation Team were
instructed to schedule vacations during the month of August 1996. Doing so would allow staff to take
vacations concurrently and still meet the time demands of the Project.
Linda Hood was appointed to the Human Resources Systems Coordinator position on May 1, 1996. As a
result of the above stipulated vacation usage requirement and the employee's pre-scheduled vacation plans,
Linda Hood used thirty (30) hours of accrued vacation in August 1996. Taking vacation in August coincided
with other team members' scheduled vacations and allowed for the Human Resources/Payroll Project to
continue on schedule. As such, it is recommended that an exception be made to Section 9.1 of the Salary
Regulations which requires that employees complete six (6) month's service in a permanent position prior to
using accrued vacation.
