Vacation Purchase Program
The County’s Vacation Purchase Program offers eligible employees the opportunity to purchase 1- or 2-weeks of additional vacation through payroll deductions. Participation in the Vacation Purchase Program is made during the County’s annual Open Enrollment.
Your eligibility to participate in the Vacation Purchase Program during Open Enrollment is based on your vacation purchase plan balance as of a specific eligibility cut-off date each year (announced prior to Open Enrollment). Here’s how this works:
Vacation Purchase Program Eligibility
Vacation Purchase Plan Balance as of Annual Eligibility Cut-Off Date | Eligibility to Purchase Vacation |
---|---|
5.1 days or more | You are ineligible to purchase for the coming Benefit Plan Year |
0.1 to 5.0 days | Purchase 1 week |
0 days | Purchase 1 week to 2 weeks |
The cost to purchase additional vacation is based on your pay. Your contributions toward the program are deducted from your pay in equal increments on a pre-tax basis throughout the year.
Note: If you experience a pay rate change during the Benefit Plan Year (e.g. resulting from a promotion or job change), your total annual vacation purchase cost will not be adjusted.
- Vacation purchase hours are not eligible for County Contribution towards health premiums.
- Vacation purchase hours are not considered eligible service hours toward retirement.
- Vacation purchase hours use is subject to the same parameters as leave without pay hours (for the purpose of accruals and other benefits).
Refer to your MOU for your eligibility to participate in the Vacation Purchase Program and details on how the Vacation Purchase Program works.
