Paid Days Off

The University recognizes the need to be away from your job and, when possible, provides you with compensation for that time through annual leave, sick leave, and holiday pay.

Annual leave
Annual leave can be used for vacations and other absences as long as the leave is taken at times mutually acceptable to you and your supervisor. A maximum of 360 hours or 45 days may be rolled over annually.

Sick leave
Classified employees as well as academic and fiscal contract faculty members earn sick leave at the rate of 8 hours per month, with no limit on the amount which may be accumulated.

Holidays
The University observes 12 official paid holidays each year. A schedule of the holidays is published at the beginning of the year.
