Time Off and Vacation Pay Allowance
Hourly 6.1

Effective January 1, 2003

This policy applies to all Hourly employees.

A. General provisions

Hourly employees receive pay for the time that they are at work. Hourly employees do not receive pay for time that they are not at work, nor do they accumulate such paid time off benefits as vacation time, income protection time (sick time), holidays, or receive pay for absences for such events as funerals, jury duty, military leave, or time off to vote and address such health and safety issues.

B. Vacation Pay Allowance

1. In lieu of vacation time off, Hourly employees earn a vacation pay allowance of one hour for each 12 hours worked in excess of 1,000 hours in a fiscal year (July 1 through June 30) in the same division or department.

   1. The maximum amount of vacation pay allowance is 80 hours per year.

2. The rate of vacation pay allowance is determined by the average hourly rate of pay that the employee received during the fiscal year.

3. Departments are to compute vacation pay allowance at the beginning of the fiscal year for the previous fiscal year. Also, departments should notify employees of the number of hours worked and the vacation pay allowance earned. Then, departments are to initiate payment by approving an hourly payroll voucher.

4. This vacation pay allowance is a lump sum payment in lieu of vacation time off. All employees who have earned any such allowance will receive payment even if they have separated from the university.
