Administrative Leave

During the first year of employment, classified employees earn a half day of administrative leave for each full calendar month of employment (for a total of three) and one sick and vacation day per month. In January of each year thereafter, classified employees are advanced the allotted vacation, administrative and sick leave. Vacation allotment corresponds to an employee's years of service. Leave time is allotted at the beginning of the year on the assumption that the employee will remain in pay status throughout the year. If the employee resigns prior to the end of the year, leave time is prorated. Any sick or vacation time used but not earned will be deducted from the final paycheck.. Use of administrative and vacation leave must be requested by the employee and approved in advance by the supervisor.

Administrative leave may be used for:

  • emergencies;
  • observance of religious or other days of celebration, but not for public holidays;
  • personal business.

Administrative leave must be used in the calendar year in which it is granted and cannot be carried into the next calendar year.
