Vacation
Vacation time off must be approved by supervisors. It is in the staff member’s best interest to request the time off as far in advance as possible. Requests will be approved as department needs permit. In case of any conflict of desired time off among staff members, those with seniority may be given preference.
Staff Accruals
Full-time and part-time staff members scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week earn vacation accruals starting the first month following their hire date.
Vacation is accrued on a monthly basis using the following schedule. No vacation time will be granted with pay prior to the benefit having been earned. Vacation accruals are awarded based on the staff member's payroll designation. A working day is 7.50 hours unless otherwise specified.

Although staff members are encouraged to take their accrued vacation in order to provide the rest, renewal and positive energy that a break in routine can bring, it is not always possible to schedule all accrued time off in a single year. Therefore, full-time staff members may accumulate up to a maximum of 150 hours of accrued vacation. After vacation balance reaches the 150-hour maximum, no further accruals will be awarded until the balance drops below 150 hours. Staff members should stay apprised of their totals and periodically schedule time off in order to continue to receive monthly accruals.
