Vacation Leave for Administrative Staff

Administrative staff in regular or term positions working half-time or more are eligible for paid vacation leave. Administrative staff in full-time, twelve-month appointments earn twenty-two days of paid vacation per year. This is prorated for those working between half-time and full-time.

Vacation is credited and reported quarterly by the Office of Human Resources. A maximum of 18 months (33 days) of earned vacation leave may be accrued. Once an individual's accrual has reached 18 months (33 days), vacation accrual will cease until it falls below the 18 months' amount. Leave may not be borrowed from the next year, nor is payment in lieu of vacation permitted. NOTE: Staff in Dining Services, the Library, and the Health Center should contact their supervisors about the specific vacation policies in their departments.

At separation vacation will be prorated based on the amount of time earned and unused up to that date. Any negative vacation balance will be deducted from the final paycheck. Vacation leave will not continue to accrue for employees on approved long-term leaves, such as family and medical leave, short-term disability, workers' compensation, parental leave, or unpaid leave.
