(for faculty members and academic administrators employed on a fiscal year basis)
Faculty members and academic administrators employed full-time on a fiscal year basis accrued annual leave at a rate of 1.75 days per month or service for a total of 21 working days per year. A paid holiday in a vacation period is counted as a holiday and not as a day of vacation. While vacations will be granted whenever possible to satisfy individual requests continuity of operations must be maintained. Consequently, vacations must be scheduled with the approval of the dean or director concerned. Employees on a contract with the University who are terminating their employment must either: (1) take their accrued vacation during the contract period in which they are terminating their employment or (2) terminate in sufficient time prior to the end of the contract period so that payment of unused vacation credits will not exceed the total monies provided in the Contract. See the Faculty Handbook for the complete vacation policy and the SOM Policy on Holiday Leave for holiday leave policy. Except for authorized holidays as officially designated each year and accrued vacations, it is the obligation of each faculty member to perform all assigned duties and commitments within the period designated by the beginning and ending dates of service in this contract.
