SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
City Council approved Ordinance 1798, adopting the City of La Porte Personnel Policy Manual, on December 9,
1991. The Policy provides that employees may not take vacation in periods of less than one regularly scheduled
work day. Staff has determined that employees would benefit if the policy were changed to allow vacation in four
(4) hour increments, in addition to a full regularly scheduled work day. This would allow employees to take care of
personal business without having to take a full day vacation.
Chapter 6, Section 6, Paragraph 8 of the City's Personnel Policy Manual would be changed as follows:
FROM:
8. Vacation leave may not be taken in periods ofless than one regularly scheduled work day.
TO:
8. Vacation leave may be taken in four (4) hour increments.
Action ReQuired bv Council:
Adopt ordinance authorizing an amendment to the City of La Porte Personnel Policy Manual.
