Eligibility and Definitions: The “vacation year” shall run from July 1 to June 30 each year.
Regular full-time and regular part-time employees shall be eligible for vacation with pay on the following schedule:
Number of Years Worked
|
Vacation Days Earned
|
During year 1 of service
|
5 days
|
After two (2) years of service
|
10 days
|
After seven (7) years of service
|
15 days
|
After fifteen (15) years of service
|
20 days
|
After twenty (20) years of service
|
25 days
|
Each “vacation day” shall equate to the number of hours worked by the employee on a normal work day as scheduled at the discretion of the Board.
Employees in their first year of service earn a pro-rated amount of vacation based upon the number of months worked. For example, an employee hired on October 1, 2013 would be eligible to earn nine-twelfths (9/12) of a full year’s allotment of vacation. This would entitle the employee to 9/12 * 5 days, or 3.75 days, during their first year of service. The employee under this example would be entitled to five (5) days of vacation on July 1, 2014, for fiscal year 2015.
Eligible employees in the District shall receive vacation, as shown above, depending on full years of service as measured each July 1.
Regular full-time employees hired prior to July 1, 2013, shall be entitled to the annual allotment of vacation days based on the guidelines reviewed herein or the total number of vacation days the employee was eligible to receive as of July 1, 2013, for fiscal year 2014, whichever is greater.
School year full-time employees compensated for 225 days (including holidays and paid vacation days) or more are entitled to three (3) days of paid vacation. School year full-time employees compensated for 225 days or more and hired prior to July 1, 2013, shall be allowed five (5) days of paid vacation for fiscal year 2014. Effective July 1, 2014, all school year full-time employees compensated for 225 days or more shall be allowed three (3) days of paid vacation.
Holidays and days of paid vacation shall be included in the tabulation of school year full-time employees’ total number of compensated days as defined by their job assignment.
Paid vacations will not be available to employees working less than 225 days as defined by their job assignment.
No vacations may be taken during the period commencing two (2) weeks prior to and ending two (2) weeks after the beginning of school in the fall, unless approved by the employee’s principal or director.
Up to five (5) days of vacation may be carried over from one vacation year to the following vacation year. Any other unused vacation remaining at the end of a vacation year shall be lost.
In the event of separation of employment from the District during the year, vacation benefits listed above shall be prorated based upon the actual service during the year of separation, including resignation, termination, or voluntary or involuntary transfer to a position that allows a lesser vacation benefit. In the event an employee voluntarily quits, if the employee does not provide two (2) weeks notice, they shall forfeit vacation benefits up to ten (10) days.
