The bargaining agreements and Civil Service Rules provide for the accrual and utilization of vacation time for State employees. For example, a 20-hour employee would accrue vacation at 4 hours per month during the first 5 years. The years of service necessary to advance to a higher rate are not prorated . Using the same example, a 20-hour employee would accrue 5 hours per month beginning the 6th year of service.
Intermittent employees are unique.
Intermittent employees do not accrue vacation until the completion of 1,040 hours of actual work. After completing 1,040 hours of actual work, intermittent employees begin accruing vacation for each 173 hours of actual work. Because of the inherent nature of intermittent work, intermittent employees do not have an established accrual date or established hours from which vacation accrual can be derived. The only limitation to the hours an intermittent employee can work is the total annual authorized hours for the position. After the completion of three years, the employee will then accrue vacation based on total service.
