Regular full-time staff employees earn vacation entitlement beginning on the first day of employment in accordance with the schedule below. An employee listing of vacation accrual balances shall be sent to each account manager in September, January, and May of each fiscal year. Each employee is responsible for bringing alleged discrepancies to the attention of the Human Resources Office for review and correction if necessary. Vacation with pay may not be granted to an employee unless he or she has completed at least six months of continuous State employment. A new employee who at the time of hire has completed at least six months of continuous State employment may be granted vacation any time after he or she is employed by the University.
Employees are to have the privilege of designating when they prefer to take vacation.
Such requests are to be granted when practicable with the understanding that efficient operation of the University's business must be the first and controlling consideration. Account managers are responsible for coordinating the vacation within their departments and maintaining the proper balance between the preference of the employees and the needs of the University. Any conflicts between employees over vacation dates requested within a department should be resolved on a seniority basis. Each employee should be scheduled to take all annual accrued vacation within the same fiscal year. Scheduled deferment of accrued vacation from one fiscal year to the next fiscal year requires approval of the division vice president.
