Champaign Human Resources Director Chris Bezruki says the city would owe about $3.5 million in accrued vacation and sick leave if all employees left at once. But the rate generally is about 8 percent turnover each year.

Under city policy, Marley was able to cash in all of his accumulated vacation time and 60 percent of his accumulated sick leave. The 22-year city employee was sent a check for $46,536 on March 9.
