VACATION LEAVE - CAREER SERVICE. A. All employees covered by this Contract and eligible for vacation leaves with pay shall be entitled to the use of vacation leave as provided herein. 1. One (1) working day of vacation for each month of employment during the first calendar year of employment. 2. Twelve (12) working days of vacation from one (1) through five (5) years of service. 3. Fifteen (15) working days of vacation beginning with the sixth (6) year through twelve (12) years of service. 4. Twenty (20) working days of vacation beginning with the thirteenth (13) year through twenty (20) years of service. 5. Twenty-five (25) working days of vacation after the twentieth (20) year of service. It is understood that the current program to schedule vacation time in effect at each institution or agency will be continued. Conflicts concerning the choice of dates when scheduling vacations will be resolved within the work unit on the basis of State seniority. B. Vacation leave is credited in advance at the beginning of the calendar year in anticipation of continued employment for the full year and may be used on that basis and in accordance with established State policy. Vacation allowance must be taken during the current calendar year at such time as permitted or directed by the Department Head unless the Department Head determines it cannot be taken because of pressure of work. Only one year of earned vacation allowance may be carried forward into the next succeeding year. C. Upon separation from the State or upon retirement, an employee shall be entitled to vacation allowance for the current year prorated upon the number of months worked in the calendar year in which the separation or retirement becomes effective and any vacation leave which may have been carried over from the preceding calendar year. D. If a permanent employee dies having vacation credits, a sum of money equal to the compensation figured on his salary rate at the time of death shall be calculated and paid to his estate. E. When the vacation allowance for an employee changes based on his years of service during any calendar year, the additional annual allowance will be given for the entire year. F. This Article does not apply to employees in the unclassified service.
