Earned Time Accrual Rates and Minimum Usage

return to Paid Leave

Accrual Rates

For the purpose of this policy, one year of employment will equal 12 consecutive months of employment from date of hire. Non-exempt staff members accumulate Earned Time based on pay status hours up to those hours budgeted, and worked for the position, and years of employment to the University System. There is no maximum accumulation of Earned Time.

Annual Minimum Usage

Computation of minimum usage will occur as of June 30 of each year. Employees with less than six months of service are exempt from minimum usage requirements.

Days converted into the Sick Leave Pool do not count towards minimum usage requirements.

Annual Minimum Usage Formula. Full-time annual minimum usage, per fiscal year (based on years of service) multiplied by employee's percent time.

Example:

37.5 hrs/week 40 hrs/week
Annual Minimum Usage for 0 up to 6 years 90 hrs/fiscal year 96 hrs/fiscal year
83% Time 90 hrs/yr x 83% = 74.7 hrs 96 hrs/yr x 83% = 79.7 hrs
75% Time 90 hrs/yr x 75% = 67.5 hrs 96 hrs/yr x 75% = 72 hrs
50% Time 90 hrs/yr x 50% = 45 hrs 96 hrs/yr x 50% = 48 hrs
