Effective with the beginning of the 2017 leave calendar year, employees who have over one year of service from their most recent date of hire and who use no sick leave (other than sick leave used for bereavement leave) in an entire one-half leave calendar year shall earn an additional 3.75 or 4.0 hours of annual leave.
Employees must have at least 30 calendar days of service before annual leave can be used.
Permanent employees with less than one year of service may, at the Employer's discretion, anticipate up to one (1) day of annual leave before it is earned.
Employees with more than one year of service may request to use annual leave that is expected to be earned in the current leave calendar year.
Employees with less than one year of service may request to anticipate one day of annual leave that is expected to be earned in the current leave calendar year.
Unused annual leave may be carried over from one leave calendar year to the next up to a maximum of 45 days.
Annual leave in excess of 45 days that is not used within the first seven pay periods of the new leave calendar year is converted to sick leave up to the maximum sick leave accumulation.
Employees who retire, resign, or otherwise separate from the university are entitled to receive a payout of unused annual leave. The payout is based on the number of days available on the last day of employment and the employee's salary at the time of separation.
