GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY 

It is the policy of the University to provide different forms of leaves to meet the needs of its employees and to comply with Federal and State regulations, e.g., Federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. These leaves are grouped into three general forms: vacation leave, sick leave, and other miscellaneous leaves.

Vacation Leave is established to enable employees to have periods away from their jobs in order to rest and rejuvenate.  In this manner, employees will be better able to maintain peak efficiency and effectiveness in their job performance.  A maximum of 240 hours may be accrued by a staff member based on the following accrual schedule: 

Length of Service

Annual Total

1st through 4th year

10 working days

5th through 14th year

15 working days

15th year and over

20 working days

Sick leave is established to provide a measure of insurance against loss of income and/or to provide a measure of job security in the event of illness or other medical reasons which keep the employee from his or her job.  Sick leave is not intended as a discretionary leave to which the employee is entitled, but rather is provided to meet the needs arising out of medical necessity.

The Vice President for Business and Finance shall be responsible for developing operating procedures to implement this policy.
