Vacation Time (Annual Leave)

CCRI provides vacation time off with pay to eligible employees. All full-time, calendar year employees are eligible for annual leave. Employees who work less than full-time or work academic year should refer to their collective bargaining agreement to determine eligibility for annual leave.

Accrual:
Vacation time is accrued on a biweekly pay period basis throughout the calendar year. Members of the Classified system are also credited with "up front" days on January 1st of each year. The collective bargaining agreement or the Board of Governors Personnel Policy Manual determines the accrual rate.

Maximum Carryover:
Unused vacation time (up to the specified maximum carryover) may be carried over into the next calendar year. Any vacation time that exceeds the maximum carryover at year-end will be forfeited. Please refer to your collective bargaining agreement to determine your maximum annual carryover amount.

Vacation Requests:
A Vacation Leave Request Form must be completed by all staff members planning to take more than three (3) consecutive days. These forms are available from the Payroll Office.   Vacation schedules are coordinated on a departmental basis. It is recommended that request forms be completed and forwarded to the employee's supervisor for approval well in advance of the time needed (minimum of two weeks in advance). Upon approval of the supervisor, the request form is forwarded to the Payroll Department to verify that the employee has sufficient vacation time accrued to cover such leave. At no time may annual leave be discharged prior to its accrual. 

Please note that the collective bargaining agreement may specify a period of time after initial employment during which vacation time (annual leave) may not be discharged.

Payment of Vacation Time:
Upon termination of employment, employees may discharge a maximum of 2 weeks' vacation leave and will be paid in a lump sum for any additional unused vacation time that has been earned through the last day of work.
