If an employee is hospitalized while on vacation, the employee may use sick leave for days actually spend in a hospital. No other conversion of vacation to sick leave is authorized. Converted sick leave becomes part of vacation accrual. Conversion is done on a monthly basis and cannot be converted on a retrospective basis. Vacation and Personal Days Staff members begin earning vacation on their first day in pay status.
Vacation accrues for all hours in pay status.
Vacation usage is not permitted in excess of the staff member's current vacation balance. Staff members who are regularly employed for 20 or more hours but less than 40 hours per week on a continuing basis will accrue vacation and personal days on a pro rata basis. Questions should be referred to Payroll, 3-3438. Holidays falling within the period of a paid vacation are paid as holidays and are not charged to the staff member's vacation. This does not apply to the vacation payout.
