that any time accumulated in excess of that amount as of April 1st, will be lost; and
WHEREAS, the County has been engaged in prevention and response efforts against the
public health threat of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) since on or about the middle of
February 2020; and
WHEREAS, some employees had vacations scheduled during the month of March 2020 in
order to reduce their vacation balances below the threshold; and
WHEREAS, some employees canceled their vacations in order to work in support of
the County's effort to protect against the pandemic and are now facing a loss of
unused Annual Leave due to section 7.01 C. of the Personnel Policies and Procedures
Manual; and

Annual Leave on employees whose balances exceed the maximum hours accrual
threshold.;
