It is the intention of the parties that all employees
use their annual leave time within the annual leave year (September
1 through August 31) in which it is earned. In order to realize
this objective, the parties mutually agree as follows:
Effective August 31, 1988, the maximum accrual of annual
leave for members of the non-teaching instructional staff shall
not exceed forty-five (45) working days as of August 31 of any
year; provided, however, that any staff member who as of August
31, 1987 has accumulated annual leave in excess of forty-five
(45) working days shall have a personal accrual maximum equal to the number of days accrued as of August
31, 1987. The annual leave balance in excess of forty-five (45)
working days or in excess of the personal accrual maximum as of
August 31, 1987, will be deducted from the employee's accrual
balance on each August 31, at the close of business, unless the
procedure set forth below has been followed:
Not later than March 1, any employee who will have an annual
leave accumulation in excess of forty-five (45) days or in excess
of the personal accrual maximum unless sufficient annual leave
time is taken prior to August 31, shall submit to the head of
the office a written request to use such excess annual leave before
the end of the current annual leave year (September 1 through August 31). The office
head shall, in writing,approve the annual leave request or, if
the needs of the office so require, offer an alternate annual
leave schedule within the current annual leave year. If the head of the office has denied the request and has
not offered an alternative plan or has not acted by April 1, the
employee shall submit a written request to the senior executive(s)
designated by the President of the College who will, in writing
within 30 calendar days of receipt of the employee's request,
approve the annual leave, provide an alternate plan for use of the excess
time, and, if there are compelling institutional
reasons, approve a carry-over of excess annual leave time.
Should a staff member resign, retire, or die, the college
will compensate the employee or the employee's estate for the
actual balance on record as of the last date of employment. In
the case of an employee whose original date of appointment to
a full-time position on the instructional staff is January 1,
1988 or later, payment shall be for not more than forty-five (45)
days or the actual accrual, whichever is less, unless an accrual
in excess of 45 days has been approved in accordance with the
provisions of Article 14.9. |
