Background Information:
Article 21.6 of the Tehama County Deputy Sheriff's (DSA) Memorandum of Understanding, states: A maximum of two hundred forty (240) hours of vacation allowance may be accumulated as of December 31 each year. The Auditor, annually, will review each employee’s vacation record; and should an employee’s accumulation of vacation exceed 240 hours on December 31 of any year, no vacation will be earned or be credited until the accrual is less than 240 hours.
If, as a result of County necessity, an employee is unable to take a scheduled vacation, which results in the employee exceeding the December 31st maximum accrual limit, the employee’s Department Head shall inform the Board in writing. At its discretion, the Board may allow the employee to temporarily exceed the limit, authorize payment of vacation hours to the employee for the hours in excess of 240 hours, or a combination of the two.
Due to staffing shortages, employees have been unable to take sufficient time off, leading to excess accrual. Each of the following employees have requested approval of the payout option:
• Sergeant (Employee #3250): 89.97 hours - $4,476.01
• Sheriff’s Records Supervisor (Employee #2374): 19.48 hours - $592.00
• Correctional Deputy (Employee #3752): 14.94 hours - $513.19
