When do I accrue vacation time, and when can it be used?

If you are an administrative or professional employee, you will accrue vacation on the monthly pay cycle. You must be in active status by the 15th of the month in order to receive vacation accrual for that month. If you are an office/technical worker or service/maintenance employee, you will accrue vacation on the biweekly pay cycle.

Vacation time must be earned before it is taken, and though you may be accruing vacation throughout the month, it will not be available for use until the first day of the following pay period.
