When a faculty appointment is reduced from 12 to nine months, any accrued vacation not used by the effective date of the change is permanently forfeited. E. Accrued vacation is paid to the employee upon termination of employment, or to the next of kin in the case of death. Payouts are at the current rate of compensation, subject to the maximums of the vacation accrual schedule. B. Individuals paid biweekly accrue sick leave at the rate of 4.6 hours per 80 hours of service. Employees paid monthly accrue sick leave at a rate of 10 hours per month.
Sick leave is prorated for appointments less than full time.
The accumulation of sick leave is unlimited. To use sick leave for the health care or death of a domestic partner, a completed and notarized Affidavit of Domestic Partnership form must be on file with the department and with the Office of Human Resources. D. Accrued sick leave transfers when an individual transfers from one University department to another. An individual with previous service at another state of Ohio agency may be credited for accrued unused sick leave if proof of accrued leave is provided by the transferring department or agency. E. Individuals retiring with 10 or more years of state service will be paid for one-fourth of the accrued but unused sick leave up to a maximum payment of 240 hours.
