There is an initial requirement of six months' employment before vacation may be taken. Unused vacation days may not be paid out with termination of service until the employee has worked a full eleven months. Academic appointments less than 100 percent worked time or less than twelve months in duration, do not accrue paid vacation. A-base appointments are eleven month appointments paid over 12 months.
Vacation is accrued for a total of eleven months at the rate of one day per half month of service.
The first half month is the first through fifteenth day of the month. The second half is the remainder of the month. There is no accrual for the twelfth month of service whether it is taken as vacation or worked. Vacation is not earned on unpaid leaves of absence or on disability leaves under the Board of Regents policy. Vacation is not accumulative beyond one year's total accrual of 22 days, and it may not be paid in lieu of being taken.
