Reform 5.3: Terminal Leave

End Terminal Leave.

Other Information:

The City Council has voted once to eliminate Terminal Leave, which allowed employees separating from City employment to accrue service time, benefits and additional leave with any unused leave they had accrued prior to separation. The annual savings of this reform have been estimated with a range of $120,000 - $1.2 million, although the City Council must vote once more to codify the elimination of this benefit. This reform will also generate long-term taxpayer savings by preventing city employees from using Terminal Leave to increasing their pensions by padding their years of service.
