<br />Benefits Comparison - Annual Vacation <br />Analysis <br /> <br />In general, the City is not out of step with the benchmark cities. SIB General Employees <br />are with the majority in how much vacation time is provided in the initial service period <br />of one year which is on average 10.7 (SIB is 10 days) and at five years service which is <br />14 days on average (SIB is 15). However, starting at 15 years service, benchmark cities <br />average vacation days increase to 19.3 days; SIB is at 25 days vacation (SIB starts 20 days <br />vacation accrual at 10 years service). The benchmark cities maximum average is 20.9 <br />days vacation; SIB's maximum is 25 days (one other city, Bal Harbour, also has a 25 <br />days maximum). Please note that the standard deviation for the maximum amount of <br />vacation days provided is 2.2. <br /> <br />For Exempt/Department Head employees the one year service average is 11.1 vacation <br />days and SIB is 10 days for Exempt and 15 days for Department Heads. At five years <br />service the average is 14.7 days vacation and SIB remains at 15 days. At 15 years service <br />the average is 19.7 days and SIB is 25 days. The maximum amount of vacation days <br />provided for Exempt/Dept. Heads on average is 21.8 and the SIB maximum is 25 days. <br />Please note that the standard deviation for the maximum amount of vacation days for this <br />group is 2.1 <br /> <br />Most of the benchmark cities do not provide additional vacation benefits for their <br />exempt/department head employees. Hallandale Beach does have a separate schedule <br />and does provide a maximum of 22 vacation days at 15 years of service for its <br />exempt/dept. heads. Also, Aventura provides an additional 5 days of "job basis leave" <br />for exempt/dept. heads for the additional meetings that are required of them but it is not <br />counted as vacation. <br /> <br />For sworn officers, 3 of the 7 benchmark cities follow separate collective bargaining <br />agreement language for vacation. The rest of the cities, including the City, follow the <br />same vacation accrual schedule as that for the general employees. <br /> <br />A verage Employee for Benchmark Cities SIB <br /> <br />Employee <br />wll yr of service <br />w/5yrs <br />wll5yrs <br /> <br />Maximum <br /> <br />10.7 days <br />14 <br />19.3 <br />20.9 <br /> <br />Employee <br />wll yr of service <br />w/5yrs <br />wll5yrs* <br />Maximum <br /> <br />10 days <br />15 <br />25 <br />25 <br /> <br />Exempt/DH wll yr service <br />w/5 yrs <br />wll5 yrs <br />Maximum <br /> <br />11.1 days <br />14.7 <br />21.8 <br />21.8 <br /> <br />Exempt/D H w/l yr service 10/15 days <br />w/5yrs 15 <br />wll5 yrs* 25 <br />Maximum 25 <br />* at 10 yrs service, accrual is 20 days <br />
