(1) If the employee is in a pay status at least 80 hours in a bi-weekly pay period, the employee accrues the hours of vacation leave credits indicated in the schedule:

 

           FULL-TIME BI-WEEKLY PAY PERIOD SCHEDULE

 

No. of Completed	80 hours or more in pay
Years of Employment	status per pay period
0-10 years	4.62 hours
10-15 years	5.54 hours
15-20 years	6.46 hours
20 on	7.38 hours

                 

(2) If an employee is in a pay status less than 80 hours in a bi-weekly pay period, the employee accrues the number of hours of vacation leave credits calculated by using the applicable amount from the following schedule multiplied by the hours worked:

 

           PART-TIME BI-WEEKLY PAY PERIOD SCHEDULE

 

No. of Completed	Less than 80 hours in pay
Years of Employment	status per pay period
0-10 years	.058 x no. hours
10-15 years	.069 x no. hours
15-20 years	.081 x no. hours
20 on	.092 x no. hours

 

(3) When recording annual leave credits, they are to be rounded to two digits beyond the decimal point and carried in each employee's account in that configuration.

(4) Vacation leave credits are earned at the end of each bi-weekly pay period. An employee may take vacation leave credits at the start of the next bi-weekly pay period, provided the employee has worked the qualifying period.
