20 Fifteen but less than twenty years 23 Twenty years or more 26 New EPA 12-month faculty, and those with under ten years of continuous service, subject to the tenure policy earn leave at the rate of 24 days a year. After ten years of continuous service at NCSU, the EPA 12-month faculty member will earn 26 days of annual leave per year. Vacation leave may be taken only with the approval of the employee's supervisor. EPA employees initially appointed for less than one year who are later appointed for one year or more will earn leave effective with the one year appointment. Leave earned will not be retroactive to the previous appointment which was less than one year.
Employees have use of their vacation leave for the year at the beginning of the calendar year.
EPA vacation records, like SPA records, should be kept on a calendar year basis. Please report the vacation leave balance for EPA employees in days, not hours. Each department must maintain records to verify the leave balances of its employees. The vacation leave balance an employee has at the time of resignation, retirement, or separation from the University must be included in the Comments Section of the PICS action and a copy of the leave record must be sent to Academic Personnel, Box 7101. To pay the employee for a positive vacation leave balance, attach a completed EPA Vacation Leave Payment Authorization Form.
