Vacation time pro-rated based on the number of hours you work and is allocated at the rate of one week's paid vacation for every full quarter worked. New employees are eligible to take their earned vacation time (in consultation with their supervisor) after completion of a satisfactory 6-month introductory review. Clark's fiscal year begins on June 1st, and quarters begin on September, December and March each year. As of July 1st each year, you may only have the maximum annual number of days allowed (20 days for 12 month positions; 18 days for 11 month positions, etc.) carried forward. Any additional days will be forfeited.
On/about June 1st, September 1st, December 1st, and March 1st each year you will be allocated earned vacation according to the following schedule:
On Sept 1st:
On December 1st, March 1st, June 1st: HR/Payroll will allocate 5 days at the end of each full quarter worked.
No waiting period. Ten (10) per year as specified by the University. One is a floating holiday which may be taken during the fiscal year. You earn the floating holiday after you have been employed for three (3) months. You must take the floating holiday during the fiscal year, or it will be forfeited. Employess holding positions of less than 12 months/year receive pay for holidays that fall during weeks worked.
The Formula for calculating holiday day for part-time staff:
| Number of regular hours worked per week | |
| ___________________________________ = | 5 days |
| Hours of Holiday Pay |
You may not exceed the number of hours authorized to work in a given week. For example, if you work 20 hours a week, four days a week:
20 ____ = 4 hours Holiday Pay 5You may only work 16 hours that week - for a total of 20 paid hours.
Sick leave is accrued at the rate of one (1) day for each calendar month worked (based on hours worked). Total days accrued not to exceed 65. You may use two sick days per year for personal business. The "personal days" must be approved by your supervisor.
