AN ACT
To repeal section 84.140, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to St. Louis City police officers.
Section A. Section 84.140, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 84.140, to read as follows:
84.140. 1. The boards may grant every member of the police force who has served for one year or more a total of three weeks vacation each year with pay, and each member of the police force who has served the department for twelve years or more may receive four weeks vacation each year with pay, and each member of the police force who has served the department for twenty-one years or more shall receive five weeks vacation each year with pay; however the board may grant an additional week of paid vacation to members after one year of service. All members of the police force may receive fifteen holidays with pay, however the board may grant additional holidays with pay, and one hundred four days off duty each year with pay, and the boards may from time to time grant additional days off duty each year with pay when in the judgment of the boards, the granting thereof will not materially impair the efficiency of the department.
2. At the end of each calender year, the board shall compensate all police force members for any vacation time accumulated during the year at a rate equal to the members hourly rate of pay; if the member is compensated by salary, compensation shall be computed on the basis of the standard annual hourly rate of pay of the employee as determined by dividing the employee's annual full-time salary rate by two thousand eighty.
