* Employees accrue vacation immediately, but may use their accumulated vacation only after their initial probationary period.
Eligible part-time employees shall earn and accrue vacation as of the effective date of this policy at the rates and with the same maximum accrual shown above.
Vacation accrual is credited proportionately to the hours paid each bi‐weekly pay period. No credit is given for compensable hours over eighty in a bi‐weekly pay period. Vacation is not earned while an employee is on an authorized unpaid leave of absence or layoff. Vacation may be accumulated up to the maximum which is earned in three (3) years, and is not credited beyond the maximum accrual. The number of hours of vacation leave earned, used, and paid each pay period shall appear on the employee's bi‐weekly earnings statement. In addition, the employee's vacation tenure (creditable State service) and current balance will also be reflected on the employee's bi‐weekly earnings statement.
