1.2 Accrual Annual leave accruals begin on the effective date of the employee's University appointment.
Annual leave is earned and accounted for on a calendar-year basis.
Employees hired between the 1 st and 15 th of the month earn annual leave for that month. Employees hired between the 16 th and the end of the month will start earning leave the following month. Employees do not earn annual leave during leaves of absence without pay that last longer than half a month, or during professional development leave . Recognized University holidays that occur during a period of annual leave will not be charged against leave. Classified employees may defer to the following year all annual leave earned in that year.
