Part-Time, Benefits-Eligible Vacation Accrual Rates

The part-time accrual rate is based on hours accrued per month. The calculation is prorated from the full-time accrual as follows:

Regularly scheduled hours divided by 35 times full-time accrural rate times 7

Example:

An Administrative Professional, Grade 8, who has been employed by the university for three years and works 24 hours per week, would be calculated as follows:

24 hours divided by 35 = 0.686
0.686 times 1.25 = 0.857
0.857 times 7 = 6 hours per month

Vacation time accrues during each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30), to be granted for and used the following fiscal year. Accrued vacation time cannot be carried forward and must be taken by June 30 of the following year.

Accruals begin the first month of employment if hired by the 15th of the month. If hired after the 15th of the month, accruals begin the second month of employment. Accrual rates and eligibility are based on benefits-eligible positions that are appointed for more than 45 weeks, and length of service as shown in the links below.
