Staff and Administrators

The amount of vacation you accumulate and the maximum balance that can be carried in any month depends on your position classification (exempt or nonexempt), the type of appointment you have, and your length of continuous University service. 

If you are preparing for a major life event, or have experienced an unexpected work-related situation, you may be granted an exception to the maximum accumulation allowed. Please see HR 34 for complete details. 

Vacation time off is scheduled by mutual agreement between you and your college or department. You should verify with your supervisor how the process works.

Unused vacation time when leaving the University

When an employee leaves University employment, the Human Resources area is responsible for calculating vacation time payout and will submit such to Payroll for processing. Effective June 30, 2017, Payroll combines the final paycheck AND any applicable vacation and/or sick payout in ONE final check. For the applicability of payout based on your position, please review the details located within Policy HR34.
