| Vacation 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. |
