and the number of hours an employee is scheduled to work.

Sick Leave:

Regular employees begin accruing sick leave the first day of employment. Accruals are based on the number of hours

Retirement:

The City of Fayetteville assists employees in securing their financial future during retirement by participating in the NC

portion of their salary on a tax-deferred basis to supplement their retirement benefits. These programs are the NC 401(k)
