POLICY
803.15 VACATION
Faculty members employed on a twelve (12) months or fiscal year basis shall be entitled to vacation earned at the rate of one and three-fourths (1 3/4) working days per month. All working days during the fiscal year shall be counted, absences during academic calendar breaks shall be recorded as vacation, and all vacation days shall be recorded on institutional leave records. Earned vacation may be accrued up to a maximum of forty-five (45) working days, and employees shall be compensated for all accrued vacation time up to, but not exceeding, forty-five (45) days upon termination of service from the University System of Georgia. The compensation shall be based on institutional leave records. A terminating employee shall not accrue vacation leave after the last working day of his/her employment. Upon a move between University System institutions, with no break in service, an employee must transfer accrued vacation leave of between one (1) and twenty (20) days. For employees with accrued vacation leave of greater than twenty (20) days, the employee may elect one of the following options:
Transfer of the total accrued vacation balance, not to exceed forty-five (45) days.
Payment by the institution from which the employee is moving of accrued vacation leave in excess of twenty (20) days. The total accrued vacation/leave for which the employee may be paid shall not exceed twenty-five (25) days.
Vacation shall be taken at times mutually acceptable to the employee and his/her supervisor. Faculty members employed on an academic year (approximately 9 to 10 months) basis do not earn vacation time. Faculty members changing from a fiscal year contract to an academic year contract shall be paid their accrued vacation time subject to the forty-five (45) day maximum payment restriction upon termination of the fiscal year contract (BR Minutes, 1991-92, pp. 354-355).
PROCEDURE
Faculty members employed on an academic year (nine-month) basis do not earn vacation time.
