Credit |
| 34.3 |
Full-time ten (10) month and twelve (12) month
faculty unit employees shall be entitled to sixteen (16) hours
[two (2) days] vacation credit for each qualifying month of
service. Ten (10) month and twelve (12) month faculty unit employees
who work less than full-time shall be entitled to vacation credit
on a pro rata basis. |
| 34.4 |
For purposes of computing vacation credit, a faculty
unit employee who works eleven (11) or more days in a monthly
pay period is considered to have completed a month, a qualifying
month of service, or continuous service. When an absence without
pay of more than eleven (11) consecutive working days falls
into two (2) consecutive qualifying pay periods, one (1) of
the pay periods is disqualified. |
| 34.5 |
An authorized leave of absence without pay shall
not be considered service for the purposes of vacation accrual. |
| 34.6 |
Vacation credits are cumulative to a maximum of
three hundred and twenty (320) working hours for ten (10) or
less years of qualifying service or four hundred and forty (440)
working hours for more than ten (10) years of such service.
Accumulations in excess of this amount as of January 1 of each
year shall be forfeited by the faculty unit employee. |
| 34.7 |
After one (1) full year of employment, a faculty
unit employee shall take at least forty (40) hours of vacation
each calendar year. Any part of the forty (40) hours not taken
during the calendar year shall be forfeited as of January 1
of the subsequent year. |
| 34.8 |
The President may permit a faculty unit employee
to carry over more than allowable credits pursuant to provision
34.6 or waive provision 34.7 of this Article when the faculty
unit employee was prevented from taking enough vacation to reduce
the credits because the faculty unit employee: |
| |
a. |
was required to work as a result of fire, flood, or other
extreme emergency; |
| |
b. |
was assigned work of priority or critical nature over an extended
period of time; |
| |
c. |
was absent on full salary for compensable injury; or |
| |
d. |
was prevented from using vacation previously scheduled to
be taken in December because of being on paid sick leave. |
| 34.9 |
A faculty unit employee shall not take vacation
until completion of one (1) month in work status. |
| 34.10 |
Requests for scheduling vacation shall be submitted
in writing to the appropriate administrator at least thirty
(30) days in advance. The scheduling of vacation may also arise
from the needs of the institution. Vacations shall be taken
as authorized by the President. Vacations shall be scheduled
by mutual agreement of the faculty unit employee and appropriate
administrator whenever possible. When authorized to do so by
the appropriate administrator, a faculty unit employee may take
vacation without submitting such a request. |
