LEAVE ACCRUAL RECORDS

Vacation and sick leaves are accrued based on the leave accrual codes established on the Personnel Action Form (PAF). Leave code is established by the department when an appointment is initially set up. For staff employees thereafter, the Payroll/Personnel system will re-derive the leave code on the appointment.

The Payroll/Personnel system re-derives the leave code for all staff employees during month-begin periodic maintenance that is usually done on the third working day of every month. The Payroll/Personnel system does not re-derive the leave codes for Academic employees.

Re-derivation of leave codes for staff employees is done once a month based on the employee service credit (ESC) and prior service months recorded on the employee database (EDB). ESC is recorded on the EDB once a month based on the hours on pay status. To earn 1 month ESC, an employee has to be paid 50 percent or more.

The following indicates the rate at which vacation and sick leaves are accrued by the employee for an appointment.

A full-time employee shall not accrue vacation in excess of an amount specified for his/her leave code on the chart above. Vacation hours earned above the maximum is lost and should not be re-instated. Leave taken is always subtracted first before leave accruals are credited. There is no maximum on the amount of sick leave that may be accrued by the employee.
