Maximum Accrual Vacation accrues on a monthly basis but as of the end of any one month may not exceed twice the current annual rate of accrual. Although vacation accrues during the first month of employment no usage is permitted until after one month of service. Usage is not permitted in excess of currently accumulated total vacation credits. Holidays falling within the period of a paid vacation are paid as Holidays and are not charged to the staff member's vacation accumulation. This does not apply to the payment of accumulated vacation upon termination.
Vacation accrues during any period of service in pay status.
All full and part-time faculty and staff members are entitled to a leave of absence because of a medically related disability at their normal rate of pay to the extent that the individual has accumulated sick leave credits to cover the period of absence. Students hired through the Office of Student Financial Aid and students hired in positions reserved specifically for student employees. All full-time eligible faculty and staff members accrue sick leave at the rate of 144 hours or 18 days per year. A partial month's accrual is computed on the basis of the number of working days in the month. No sick leave accrues for less than one day of service.
