L CITY OF BATESVILLE Employee Benef its <br /> Employee Handbook <br /> Full-time Class B employees with the City of Batesville are provided a variety of <br /> benefits, including medical, life, dental, and pharmaceutical insurance; paid <br /> vacations, holidays and sick leave; and education assistance program; a <br /> retirement plan, and a number of other benefits to enhance the employee's job <br /> satisfaction. The information below is an overview of each benefit. If an <br /> employee needs additional information, he/she may discuss the questions with <br /> his/her Supervisor or the City Clerk's office. <br /> A. PAID TIME OFF <br /> Paid vacations and paid sick leave are not requirements of the law except for <br /> firefighters. However, the City of Batesville like most other corporations has <br /> made provisions to allow each individual to accrue paid vacation and paid sick <br /> leave as outlined in this handbook. <br /> 1. VACATION FOR CLASS B EMPLOYEES EXCEPT FIRE DEPARTMENT <br /> Once an employee enters an eligible classification (Class B), they begin to <br /> accrue vacation time according to the schedule on the following page. Before an <br /> employee can take any vacation, he must first accumulate 21 hours (6 months of <br /> accrual). Eligible employees must be in pay status at least 15 calendar days in a <br /> month to accrue vacation leave for that month. <br /> Employees should schedule their vacation with their supervisor as many days in <br /> advance as possible. If the workload in a department is such that it would be <br /> disruptive for an employee to be away from work, or if other employees have <br /> previously scheduled time off, the Supervisor may refuse a vacation request for a <br /> particular period of time. <br /> Vacation may be scheduled in one-hour increments and may be scheduled to <br /> coincide with holidays. In certain situations, an employee may give another <br /> employee, (of the same pay level or below) part of their vacation time with the <br /> approval of the Supervisor and Mayor. <br /> Unused vacation days may not be carried over to the next leave year without a <br /> written request from the employee and approved by the Mayor. If employment is <br /> terminated, either by the employee or the City of Batesville, the employee will be <br /> reimbursed for all accrued vacation time. <br /> 15 <br />
