Employees who request vacation leave well in advance will make it easier for supervisors to accommodate vacation choices. Vacation leave must not be unreasonably denied or deferred. Employees who believe their vacation rights have been violated should contact Human Resources. Accrual Vacation leave accrual begins on the first day of employment and ends on the last day of employment. Rate of accrual is shown in the accrual charts which follow.
Employees accrue vacation only when they are in pay status.
Time worked in excess of 40 hours in the workweek does not affect vacation leave accrual. When balances are posted, figures should represent accrual up to the time of posting. For accrual purposes, years of service will be transferred to the new position. Change in the rate of vacation accrual due to increased seniority will be effective on the anniversary date of hire.
