All and part time faculty and full and part-time administrative staff shall earn vacation leave in accordance with the following formula.
.085 x hours paid per month
Employees are expected to use their accrued vacation leave annually. Employees may accrue vacation leave up to a maximum of three times the amount earned annually. Once the maximum is earned; no further vacation leave may be earned until vacation leave is used.
Payment for accrued, but unused vacation shall be made upon separation from the service to the university, or upon death of the employee. Such payment will be made in a lump sum based on the regular rate of pay at separation for the number of hours accrued but unused. Vacation leave payout is subject to the maximum of three times the annual accrual amount.
