Professional Development Funds As approved by the President, professional development funds are available for management employees. Contact the Director of Human Resources for information on accessing these funds.

Vacation Scheduling and Use of Vacation Leave Vacation leave is scheduled in advance with the approval of the employee's manager and should be planned cooperatively with the employee. Vacation leave will be scheduled in such a manner as to minimize disruption to the organization. Managers must be reasonable in allowing the use of vacation leave and may not unreasonably deny vacation requests where the result would be the forfeiture of accrued vacation. For purposes of calculation, one normal workday is the equivalent of eight hours of vacation leave for a full-time employee.

Holidays falling within a period of vacation leave will not be counted against vacation leave.

Separation from Employment Upon separation from employment, an employee will be paid for any accumulated vacation leave. The employee is responsible for repayment of any overuse of accrued vacation leave. The ending date of employment cannot be extended by using vacation. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by Human Resources.

Vacation Accruals Management and confidential employees with a 1.0 FTE assignment accrue 13.33 hours of vacation per month (20 days per year). Management and confidential employees with assignments of less than 1.0 FTE accrue vacation in proportion to their FTE. Management and confidential employees accrue vacation on a monthly basis, beginning the first calendar month of employment. Vacation accrues on the last day of the month and is available for use the first day of the next month. Vacation leave will not accrue to any employee on leave without pay or suspension with duration of more than 30 days.

Maximum Vacation Leave Accrual Balance An employee’s total balance of accrued vacation may not exceed 320 hours. The hours of vacation leave earned each month will be adjusted to ensure thatthe maximum accrued vacation limit is not exceeded.

Sick Leave Employees shall have ten (10) days of sick leave placed in their sick leave bank upon beginning employment and shall accrue one (1) day of sick leave per month worked. Yearly accruals will be posted on the first day of each fiscal year. Employees working less than 1.0 FTE in a fiscal year will have sick leave accruals prorated. There will be no limit on the number of days accumulated during an employee’s employment. If termination occurs before the end of the fiscal year, sick leave accruals shall also be pro-rated.

Holidays Employees will be paid for 16 holidays, which are: Juneteenth (June 19th), Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, day before Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving Day, day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, the four days between Christmas and New Years, New Years Day, Memorial Day and typically either Martin Luther King Day or President’s Day in alignment with represented employee contracts. If a holiday falls on Saturday, Friday will be the holiday. If a holiday falls on Sunday, Monday will be the holiday.

Personal Leave Days Management employees receive up to 2 days (16 hrs) of personal leave per fiscal year to be used for personal reasons and are not accumulated or paid out upon separation of employment. For non-exempt positions, personal leave can be used in hourly increments at the employee’s discretion with prior approval from their immediate supervisor.
