    Employees' eligibility for a vacation buy back is determined by several factors. These include the bargaining unit to which they belong, the amount of vacation, annual, and professional leave they have used in the previous year, and the length of their employment with the County. The bargaining unit is likely relevant as it may have specific agreements or rules regarding vacation buy back.

Finally, the length of employment with the County may be a factor to determine if an employee has earned the right to a vacation buy back.
