When an individual is placed on indefinite layoff status, payment of accumulated vacation, up to one year s entitlement plus five days, is made. For staff appointed as Assistant and Fellow, Assistant and Trainee, Instructor and Fellow, Instructor and Trainee, Resident, and Fellow, see page 10. Vacations must be scheduled to meet the work requirements of each department. Every effort is made to satisfy individual preference for vacation dates. Departments which experience periods of reduced work schedules may require that vacations be taken at those times, and when feasible, individuals will be informed of such requirements in advance.
Vacation is to be taken during the year it is earned.
Concurrent with the University philosophy, such periods of vacation are an important component of work life. At the beginning of the first full pay period each January, a maximum of one year s accrual plus five days may be carried forward. During the year, vacation accruals will continue to be earned but will be reduced to one year s entitlement plus five days at the end of the calendar year. For staff appointed as Assistant and Fellow, Assistant and Trainee, Instructor and Fellow, Instructor and Trainee, Resident, and Fellow, see page 10. An individual s base pay rate and standard hours in effect at the time vacation is taken are used in calculating vacation pay.
