H. Accrued Employee Benefits <br /> Town employees are granted vacation and sick leave in varying amounts. <br /> Upon retirement, termination, or death, certain employees are compen- <br /> sated for unused sick and vacation leave which is (subject to certain <br /> ' limitations) at their then current rates of pay. The cost of this unused <br /> sick and vacation leave; which is expected to be paid from future financial <br /> resources, is accounted for as a liability of the general long-term <br /> debt account group for governmental fund types. <br /> 1. Fund Eguitv <br /> ' Reservations of fund balance represent amounts that are not appropri- <br /> able or are legally segregated for a specific purpose.

Encumbrance Accounting and Reporting <br /> Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encum- <br /> brances (e.g., purchase orders, contracts) outstanding at year end <br /> are reported as reservations of fund balances and do not constitute <br /> ' expenditures or liabilities. <br /> K.
