*Nine and ten month faculty accrue 12 days per year, which goes into an extended sick leave account. Accrued leave may not be used for vacation for these employees.

Termination: Employees are paid their leave balances up to their annual accrual amount; except that employees appointed to grants and contracts accounts will not be paid for accrued leave upon termination unless the grant or contract contains a separate account with sufficient funds to pay for accrued leave.

Retiring: Employees are paid their full leave balances up to the maximum accrual amount.

Reference: Staff Handbook, Section 3.11.1.
