3.35.4 Annual Leave for Academic Faculty on Twelve (12)-Month Appointments
Faculty in twelve (12)-month positions shall be entitled to accumulate annual leave as follows:
Faculty with less than ten (10) years of total University service earn ten (10) hours of annual leave each pay period with a maximum annual leave balance of 240 hours (i.e., a cap of thirty (30) days or two (2) times the annual total of fifteen (15) days).
Faculty who have completed ten (10) years of total University service earn twelve (12) hours of annual leave each pay period with a maximum annual leave balance of 288 hours (.i.e., a cap of thirty-six (36) days or two (2) times the annual total of eighteen (18) days).
Faculty who have completed fifteen (15) years of total University service earn fourteen (14) hours of annual leave each pay period with a maximum annual leave balance of 336 hours (i.e., a cap of forty-two (42) days or two (2) times the annual total of twenty-one (21) days).
The rate of accrual of annual leave is based upon total uninterrupted years of service at the University, not upon years in a particular position.
Faculty may accumulate more annual leave than their allowed maximum until June 30 of any year. After June 30, any excess annual leave over an employee’s maximum balance is reduced to the maximum, at which time the employee can begin accumulating above the maximum.
Any faculty member entitled to annual leave who has resigned or otherwise separated from University service at any time are entitled to only receive reimbursement for the amount of accrued annual leave which does not exceed the faculty member's maximum annual leave balance allowable accumulation. Any excess annual leave accrued after June 30 above the maximum annual leave balance shall not be paid to a separating faculty member. (See Chapter X, Section 10.33: Annual Leave Policy.)
