Annual Leave

3.7.2 Annual Leave

Employees must be employed by the Libraries on a continuous basis for at least one year before they are eligible for annual leave.

Leave will not be advanced but can accumulate from year to year. However, under no circumstances will an employee be able to accumulate more than 240 hours of Annual Leave. Employees resigning or whose employment is terminated will be paid only for accumulated annual leave up to 240 hours.

Annual leave is granted according to the library’s schedule and with the permission of the director and immediate supervisor.

Part-time employees earn annual leave in proportion to the number of hours regularly scheduled to work. (For example, an employee scheduled to work 20 hours per week would earn 40 hours of annual leave annually for the first 10 years of employment.)

Annual leave time is awarded upon completion of years of service, as outlined below in hours:
