Leave
Category 83 - Administrative Staff HeadStart 11m
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
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.
- Temporary Leave Days - Not accruable
or payable. May only be used for jury duty, military leave, funeral leave,
and other approved leaves.
- Vacation - This type of
leave is used for personal time off in accordance with University policies
and procedures.
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 no longer 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. As always, 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.
Accrual rates may be pro-rated depending on various factors such as the
amount of hours worked (for bi-weekly employees), your appointment
percentage (or FTE) and the amount of time that you were in pay status during
the pay period. For more information, please refer to the Benefits - Employee
Vacation & Sick Leave section of the SIUE Office of Human Resources
website located here: http://www.siue.edu/humanresources/benefits/vac-sick.shtml
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.
