Leave Category 80 - Administrative StaffContinuing
The leave category that you are assigned to is determined by your position.

Leave Type
There are different types of leave that employees may accrue or have rolled over from previous years. The most common types are;

• Sick earned post 1997 - This is the current type of sick leave which accrues based on the rules in the table below. This leave will only be used after all sick leave accrued prior to 1984 is exhausted.
• Sick earned 1984-1997 bal only - This type of sick leave is carried over from hours that were accrued between January 1, 1984 and December 31, 1997. This type of leave can no longer be accrued and hours will only be deducted from this leave type after exhausting the balances of any sick leave accrued post 1997 and any sick leave accrued prior to 1984.
• Sick earned pre 1984 bal only - This type of sick leave is carried over from hours that were accrued prior to January 1, 1984. This type of leave can no longer be accrued and will only be deducted from this leave type after exhausting the balances of any Non-Accruable Sick Leave.
• Non-Accruable Sick Leave - Sick leave used in the year it was accrued. It does not carry over into the next fiscal year and any unused sick leave at the end of the fiscal year is forfeited. Any sick leave taken will first be deducted from this leave type until all accrued leave of this type is exhausted.
• Vacation - This type of leave is used for personal time off in accordance with University policies and procedures.
• Temporary Leave Days - Not accruable or payable. May only be used for jury duty, military leave, funeral leave, and other approved leaves.

Years of Service
For some leave categories, vacation leave accrual rates differ based on the employees years of service. Years of service is determined by subtracting your Adjusted Service Date from the end date of the pay period in which the leave is to be accrued.

Hours Accrued
Vacation leave is earned evenly throughout the year per each pay period.  Leave time accruals are NOT tied to the number of hours worked in each month.  At the end of the year, you earn the same time as in the previous method.  This change evens out the accrual process allowing for a consistent accrual rate to be used per pay period.  Fiscal continuing positions that earn vacation earn 7.82 hours per pay period. The vacation leave accrual is prorated to your continuing appointment percentage.  If you have an 80% appointment you receive 80% of the accrual rate. 

Employees who earn non-accruable sick leave of 43 days earn 322.50 hours at the beginning of your fiscal or academic year.  The unused balance of this sick leave does not roll over to the following year.

Employees who earn accrual sick leave of 7.2 days earn 54 hours of accruable sick leave at the beginning of the fiscal or academic year.  The unused balance of this sick leave does carry over to the following year.  There is no limit to the amount of sick leave you can carry over or accumulate.

Maximum Rollover
Leave records are viewed on June 30 of each year to ensure that employees do not exceed this limitation. Leave time in excess of the Maximum Rollover (Max Rollover) is not carried forward into the next fiscal year and cannot be used. This time is equal to two years worth of leave accrued at the current accrual rate.
