The guidelines outlined in this policy are designed to cover classified employees and eligible research grant employees. Part-time employees established to work at least 20 hours per week earn annual leave on a pro rata basis. This rate is derived by dividing the established work hours by 40 hours to determine the percentage of the full-time rate they accrue. Research grant employees eligible to accrue annual leave hours are covered by this policy with the exception of bonus leave accrual.
Employees accrue annual leave while on annual leave, sick leave or other authorized leave with pay.
Employees do not accrue annual leave while in a leave without pay status. Annual leave can be used once accrued and is scheduled at the department's convenience. Consideration shall be given, however, to the employee's preference. Annual leave will not be advanced. Annual leave may not be charged when a holiday is observed by the University.
