§ 16.1-83. Vacations and sick leave for officers and employees of
county courts generally.—(a) In any county except a county having a
density of population in excess of five thousand per square mile every judge
of a court not of record and every associate judge who serves full time
shall be allowed an annual vacation period with pay of, for the first five
years of service, one and one-half working days for each full calendar
month of service, and upon completion of the fifth year, and each year
thereafter, in addition to the one and one-half working days per month,
shall be allowed one additional day of vacation for each complete year of
service after the fifth, the maximum number of days vacation to be
twenty-four. (a-1) In any county having a population of more than one
hundred thousand but less than one hundred fifty thousand inhabitants,
every associate judge of a court not of record who serves at least three full
days a week shall be allowed an annual vacation period equal to three-
fifths of the number of days, computed as above, which he would have
received had he served full time. (b) In the discretion of the committee
of judges referred to in §*14.1-40, every judge, associate judge, clerk or
deputy clerk may be allowed additional leave to attend such meetings and
conferences and engage in such other activities as in the opinion of the
committee will tend to improve the administration of the court and be in
the public interest. (c) Every clerk, deputy clerk, clerical assistant and
other employee of each such court shall be allowed an annual vacation
period with pay of, for the first year of service, one working day for each
full calendar month of service, and upon completion of the second year,
and each year thereafter, in addition to the one working day per month,
shall be allowed one additional day of vacation for each complete year of
service after the first, the maximum number of days vacation to be twenty-
four. (d) In the discretion of the committee of judges, there may be
allowed an additional vacation period, with or without pay as the com-
mittee shall determine. Such committee may, in its discretion, also provide
for sick leave for such judges, clerks and other employees. (e) Every
judge, associate judge, clerk, deputy clerk, clerical assistant, and other
employee of such court with less than ten years of service, may accumulate
vacation to not more than thirty days, and those with ten years of service,
may accumulate vacation to not more than forty days.
