UC/ACBCTC Agreement
VACATION
[Jump to Vacation Credit Tables]
- An employee appointed at fifty (50) percent or more of full-time for a period of six months or more is eligible to earn vacation from the date of the appointment. An employee who is not eligible to earn vacation by the nature of the appointment becomes eligible to earn vacation after six continuous months in pay status at fifty (50) percent or more and shall then be credited with vacation for the six-month period.
- An employee must be on pay status for at least one-half of the
working hours of a month to earn vacation credit for that month.
Vacation credit is earned at the following rates:
- ten (10) hours per month for an employee with less than 120 months of qualifying service;
- twelve (12) hours per month for an employee with at least 120, but less than 180, months of qualifying service;
- fourteen (14) hours per month for an employee with at least 180, but less than 240, months of qualifying service; and
- sixteen (16) hours per month for an employee with 240 months or more of qualifying service.
- A month of service at one-half time or more is a month of qualifying service. Time on military leave from the UNIVERSITY is included. Vacation credit shall be accrued by an eligible employee during leave with pay.
- Vacation credit for each month shall accrue on the first day of the following month except that an eligible employee who is terminating UNIVERSITY service accrues proportionate vacation through the last day on pay status. Vacation is earned proportionately for work in excess of fifty (50) percent, but less than full-time. (See Chart at the end of this Article.)
- An employee can accrue vacation credit up to a maximum number
of hours equal to two times the yearly accrual rate for a full-time
employee with the same number of years of qualifying service. During
the month that an employee will earn vacation credit exceeding this
maximum, the UNIVERSITY, consistent with operational requirements,
will schedule vacation time off for the employee to the extent necessary
to prevent an over maximum accumulation.
If vacation leave is not scheduled, the UNIVERSITY will then pay the employee at his or her current hourly rate for those hours which accrue over the maximum. - Time spent on pay status in excess of forty (40) hours in any work week does not earn extra vacation credit.
- An employee who earns vacation from the date of the appointment shall not use such vacation until completing six (6) continuous months on pay status at fifty (50) percent time or more in each month.
- A person employed by the State of California who has completed six (6) months of State service at one-half time or more who begins work for the UNIVERSITY within fifteen (15) calendar days of leaving State service shall not serve another waiting period for vacation credit. A person who has previously completed the waiting period in this bargaining unit and who is re-employed after a break in service of less than six (6) months or who is recalled from layoff during the period of eligibility shall not serve another waiting period to use vacation.
- Vacation leave shall be scheduled at the convenience of the CAMPUS or LABORATORY. An employee wishing to take accrued vacation shall notify his/her supervisor of the dates on which the vacation is desired. The Department will make every effort to grant vacation as requested. If an employee is approaching the maximum vacation credit which may be accrued, the employee, upon request, shall be granted a vacation. Vacation credit shall not be used prior to the time it is accrued.
- Vacation Payment Upon Layoff
For the CAMPUS: An employee with accrued vacation credit who is placed on layoff shall be paid on an extended time basis for any accrued vacation prior to the effective date of the layoff.
For the LABORATORY: An employee with accrued vacation credit who is placed on layoff shall be paid his or her accrued vacation on the effective date of his or her layoff. - An employee leaving the LABORATORY to accept a position at any other UNIVERSITY campus shall be paid his/her accrued vacation credit through the employee's last day of work. A campus employee leaving this unit to accept another campus position shall, if otherwise eligible, have any accrued vacation leave transferred if the employee is moving to a position where vacation is accrued. An employee entering the unit from other than a LABORATORY position shall retain the vacation leave accumulations earned in the previous UNIVERSITY position.
- An employee with accrued vacation credit who terminates employment
or who is granted extended military leave shall be paid for vacation
credit through the employee's last day of work.
The last day of work shall be the effective date of termination except that an employee who is retiring may use vacation up to the effective date of retirement. - If vacation leave is to be used as part of an approved medical or family leave, the request for the use of vacation leave must comply with the notice and certification requirements for requesting medical or family leave.
