Sick leave is forfeited at separation from employment. However, you will receive retirement service credit for up to 90 days of unused sick leave at retirement. If you transfer from one state agency to another with less than a 15-day break, both your sick leave and annual leave will be transferred, unless you are transferring to an academic position where you are not eligible to accrue annual leave. In that case, you will be paid for annual leave subject to the Annual Leave Policy and your sick leave will be transferred. If there is more than a 15-day break, or if you are paid for your annual leave for any reason other than transfer to a position where you are not eligible to earn annual leave, it will be considered a break in service and your sick leave will be forfeited.
Permanent employees are eligible for holiday pay.
There are 11 paid holidays in a year. As state employees we receive the same number of holidays as other state agencies, but most of our holidays are taken at Christmas when the students are off. Each department receives a holiday schedule , normally in November, for the coming year. Certain situations are classified as other leave with pay . Other leave is not counted against your annual leave or sick leave balances.
