It is the intent of the state to allow employees to utilize credited vacation or annual leave each year for relaxation and recreation. It is the employee's responsibility to plan vacations well in advance to minimize conflicts with the operational needs of the agency. It is the appointing power's responsibility to provide reasonable opportunity for all employees to take an annual vacation commensurate with their annual accrual rate of vacation or annual leave.
If it appears an employee designated confidential, excluded, supervisory, or managerial under the Ralph C. Dills Act will have a vacation or annual leave balance that will be above the maximum amount permitted by sections 599.737 and 599.738 of these regulations as of January 1 of each year, the appointing power shall require the supervisor to notify and meet with each employee so affected, by the preceding July 1, to allow the employee to plan time off, consistent with operational needs, sufficient to reduce their balance to the amount permitted by the applicable regulation prior to January 1.
The employee shall also be notified by July 1 that if the employee fails to take off the required number of hours by January 1 for reasons other than those listed in sections 599.737 and 599.738 of these regulations the appointing power shall require the employee to take off the excess hours over the maximum permitted by the applicable regulation at the convenience of the agency during the following calendar year.
