§2420. Hours of work, holidays, attendance, and leave

The rules shall provide for the hours of work, vacations, holidays, attendance regulations, and leaves of absence in the various classes of positions in the classified service. They shall contain provisions for annual, sick, and special leaves of absence with or without pay or with reduced pay, and may allow special extended leaves for employees disabled through injury or illness arising out of their employment, and the accumulation of annual and sick leaves. They shall contain provisions for leaves of absence for women for a reasonable time prior to and after childbirth. When an employee is transferred by mutual consent, or by virtue of a promotion, from a position under one organization unit to a position under another, the value of any unused annual leave earned by him shall be computed and payment for it shall be made by the organization unit under whose employment the annual leave was earned to the organization unit to which the employee is transferred. The organization unit to which the employee is transferred shall credit the employee with the number of days annual leave for which it has received payment.

Funds transferred by one organization unit to another organization unit in payment of accumulated annual leave shall be available to the receiving organization unit for payroll purposes over and above any funds appropriated to the organization unit. The rules shall contain provisions relating to the payment to an employee of accrued annual leave when an employee's services with the city are terminated under conditions which make, in accordance with the rules, the employee eligible for payment of accrued annual leave. When an employee is transferred from a position under one appointing authority to a position under another, his accumulated unused sick leave shall be transferred with him.
