Vacation and Sick Leave
Vacation leave is credited to employees who are in pay status (working, on paid leave or on worker's compensation leave) for one-half or more of the regularly scheduled work days and holidays in the pay period. Full-time permanent, probationary, trainee and time-limited employees are eligible for sick leave at the rate of 8 hours per month (96 hours per year).
Full-time, permanent, probationary, trainee and time-limited employees are granted leave based on the length of total State service as shown in Table I: Vacation Leave Credits. (Permanent part-time employees who work half-time or more are granted prorated leave.)
Vacation Leave | Sick Leave
Note: Vacation leave in excess of 240 hours (prorated for permanent part-time employees) on December 31 of each year shall be converted to sick leave.
