Annual Leave: Full-time administrative,
professional-technical, and classified employees with less than five years of
continuous employment with the College accrue 10 hours of annual leave per
month (15 days a year). Part-time
administrative, professional-technical and classified employees accrue a
proportionate amount of annual leave. Employees
beginning or ending employment after the 15th of the month accrue
half the amount of leave for the month.
Upon the 5th
anniversary of employment with the College, administrative,
professional-technical, and classified employees accrue annual leave at the
rate of 13.33 hours per month (20 days a year).
The maximum number of
hours, which employees may accrue, is 240 hours (30 working days). When an employee has accrued the maximum of 240 hours of
annual leave, no additional leave can be accrued.
If an employee changes
positions from an accrual status to a non-accrual status, the amount of sick
leave accrued will be frozen until the employee returns to a status, which
accrues leave or separates from the District.
Upon separation from
the College, an employee is eligible to receive payment for all accrued annual
leave. In the event of the death
of an employee, payment for all unused annual leave will be made to the
beneficiaries or the estate of the employee.
All annual leave must
be approved in advance.
Faculty member with
less than year-round employment do not earn annual leave.
Sick Leave: Employees may use accrued sick leave for personal illness or illness in the immediate family. For the purposes of this policy, immediate family is defined as spouse, child, parent or sibling. Employees are not eligible to use sick leave while in a leave without pay status or if using other incidental leave. Abuse of sick leave shall constitute grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including possible dismissal. Employees must contact their immediate supervisor within one hour after the scheduled start time or as soon as reasonably possible.
If the illness requires
the use of sick leave for more than 5 consecutive working days, the employee
must provide a supporting physician’s statement within 10 working days of the
date of the first absence. FMLA
paperwork must be filed if the illness is for the employee, spouse, child or
parent.
Only sick leave accrued
while employed with the Austin Community College District shall apply.
Sick Leave Accrual: A maximum of 1200
hours of sick leave may be accrued. Full-time
staffing table employees accrue 8 hours of sick leave per month. Part-time staffing table employees
accrue hours proportional to their hours of employment.
Unused Sick Leave: Upon separation from
the District, employees will be paid at 50% for any hours accrued over 960. Payment for unused sick leave will be
calculated at the employee’s current rate of pay.
