Vacation leave accrues on a monthly basis and cannot be taken until it is earned. The annual vacation balance date is December 31st for all employees. Vacation earned during a calendar year may be carried over into the next calendar year. However, any vacation carried over from the previous calendar year must be used by December 31st of the current calendar year or it will be forfeited.
Vacation leave is accrued according to an employee's service date.
However, service at another State agency is recognized in this calculation. Requests for vacation must be submitted in advance to the appropriate supervisor. Assuming supervisor approval, vacation leave may be taken as it accrues without a specific waiting period. Employees' preferences as to time of vacation will be considered but the University reserves the right to assign vacation periods. Temporary employees shall not earn, accumulate or be granted vacation leave.
