Upon separation from service without cause an employee shall be paid for accumulated vacation credit without regard to the current carry-over limitation. Accumulation of vacation credit by such an employee shall continue through the last working day for which the employee is entitled to pay or through the date to which lump-sum payment is projected as required in Section 18005 of the Government Code. If this date is such that the employee has sufficient paid working days to qualify a further monthly pay period, vacation with pay shall be given for that monthly pay period.

An employee dismissed from service for cause shall accumulate vacation credit only through the date of separation. If this date is such that the employee has sufficient paid working days to qualify the monthly pay period, vacation with pay shall be given for that monthly pay period.
