3.46WF—LICENSED PERSONNEL VACATIONS

Two hundred forty (240) day contracted employees are credited with ten (10) days of vacation at the beginning of each fiscal year; this is based on the assumption that a full contract year will be worked. If an employee fails to finish the contract year due to resignation or termination, the employee’s final check will be reduced at the rate of eight hundred thrity-three thousandths (0.833) days per month, or major portion of a month, for any days used but not earned.

240 day contracted employees that begin employment during a fiscal year will earn vacation time on a prorated basis so that all vacation anniversary dates are July 1.

Instructional employees may not generally take a vacation during instructional time. All vacation time must be approved, in advance to the extent practicable, by the superintendent or appropriate supervisor. If a vacation is requested, but not approved, and the employee is absent from work in spite of the vacation denial, disciplinary action will be taken against the employee, which may include termination. Any days used in excess of the vacation days accumulated will be subject to deduction from regular salary and must be approved by the Superintendent prior to the time of leave.

All vacation time must be used before the end of the fiscal year (June 30th) during the year it is received with the exception of five (5) days which may be carried forward. No employee shall be entitled to more than fifteen (15) days of vacation as of the first day of each fiscal year (July 1). Employees terminating (resigning/retirement) service at the end of the fiscal year will take all received vacation time prior to termination. Employees leaving due to a reduction in force may use all received vacation time prior to the end of the fiscal year. There shall be no cash surrender value for unused vacation time.
