Leave
Category 50 - SIUE Leave
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;
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 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.
Vacation balances are limited to two years of accrual for carryover. Vacation time exceeding the limit does not
carry over.
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.
Employees who earn 10 temporary leave days earn 75 hours per
year. This time is not accruable and
does not carry over to the following year.
This time is not payable at termination.
Temporary leave days are used for jury duty, military leaves, funeral
leave and approved sick time for family members.

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.
