Vacation Scheduling and Use of Vacation Leave Vacation time may be taken only with the prior approval of the supervisor and cannot be granted before it is accrued unless it is to the mutual benefit of the College and the employee.

This advance notice requirement may be waived in the sole discretion of the employee's supervisor. A department may delineate specific periods during the year when, due to operational need, vacations may not be approved. Outside of those periods, if a vacation request is denied, the employee and supervisor will immediately discuss a reasonable alternative time for vacation. If the delay results in an employee's accrual exceeding maximum limits as defined in the chart below, during the next three months, the employee will be paid forty (40) hours of vacation in their next regular pay distribution. The hours paid will be deducted from the accrued vacation time. Vacation Accruals Vacation time will begin accruing from the first day of employment with the College. Classified employees will accrue vacation on a monthly basis. The vacation accrual rates are as follows for full-time employees who remain employed for twelve (12) months. Employees working less than twelve (12) months or less than full-time will accrue vacation on a prorated basis, based on the percentage of full-time worked or the percentage of the year worked by the employee.
