Eligibility Vacation means absence from work permitting rest and recreation for a specified period of time during which regular compensation continues. Academic and administrative staff gain vacation privileges only if employed at .50 FTE or more on a 12-month appointment. Maximum Accrual and Carry-Over Employees may accumulate up to 256 hours of vacation. Hours will not be accrued beyond that amount. The accrual of a vacation allowance is reduced on a pro rata basis for periods of leave without pay, and educational leave.
Vacation time is accrued during other periods of paid leave.
Time Employees are not entitled to payment for unused vacation allowance except upon termination of employment. At termination, up to 176 hours maximum of accrued vacation will be paid. A classified employee transferring to an unclassified position may transfer their accrued vacation balance. Within one year from transfer, that balance shall not exceed 256 hours. Additional hours shall expire.
