MSUE Administrative Handbook: Human Resources
  
SUBJECT: ANNUAL LEAVE
 
POLICY: Annual leave (vacation) with pay is granted to employees based on their percent time status.
 
APPLIES TO: MSUE provost-appointed academic staff
 
PROVISIONS/RESTRICTIONS:
 
  1. Full-time employees are granted 22 days of annual leave per year to be taken between July 1 and the next June 30.

  2. Part-time employees are granted annual leave on a proportionate basis i.e. percent time status x 22 days = annual leave days.

  3. For newly hired employees annual leave is granted based on their hire date and the months remaining in the annual leave year times a monthly annual leave factor of 1.83 days. Example: A full time employee hired January 1 is granted 11 days of annual leave (6 months x 1.83 = 10.98 or 11).

  4. Annual leave is not carried over to the next annual leave year. If annual leave is not taken during the July 1 - June 30 annual leave time period it is lost.

  5. Annual leave taken is reported to the County Extension Director for off-campus employees and to the unit administrator for on-campus employees.

  6. An employee receives payment for unused annual leave when terminating. Example: An employee terminating on September 30 who has taken 2.5 days of annual leave will receive pay for 3 days of annual leave (3 months worked x 1.83 monthly annual leave factor - 2.5 annual leave days taken = 3).
