The only recognized holidays qualifying for holiday pay are those listed above. When an employee is required to work on a holiday recognized by the University, the employee will receive the holiday pay and one and one-half times the normal hourly rate of pay for hours worked on that day. Because of the unique nature of the academic calendar, Denison reserves the right to re-schedule holidays to ensure continuation of essential services. If a holiday falls within a vacation period, an extra day of vacation is allowed. Eligible employees who work unusual schedules and whose normal day off falls on a holiday are granted an additional day's pay or an extra day off during the same pay period at the option of the employee.
Vacation time is accrued from the employee s adjusted date of hire.
For employees working less than 12 months the effective period for taking vacation is the overall time frame the staff member is budgeted to work including any break periods during the academic year. Vacation accruals will be prorated during any period where an employee is in an unpaid status. Employees may not use vacation before it is accrued. An employee's total accrued vacation as of January 1 of each year may not exceed 200 percent of the annual vacation earned. Vacation days may not be transferred from one employee to another.
