However, if you are retiring you may schedule vacation between the last day of work and the effective date of retirement. For a transfer from a vacation-accruing position to a position that is not eligible to earn vacation you may use vacation in the period between the two jobs, since there is no break in service. UCSB does NOT use the Factor Accrual System. The Factor Accrual System calculates vacation credit earned for each month based on the actual number of hours of pay status for that month. Since calendar months vary in total working hours, vacation credit would vary from month to month.
Vacation is earned in partial hours.
With the Vacation Credit Tables vacation credit remains the same each month regardless of the number of working hours in the month. Vacation is always earned in whole hours.
