VACATIONS
(ADMINISTRATIVE FACULTY)
Full-time (12 month contract) administrative faculty
members are entitled to 22 days of vacation in each of the first ten
fiscal years of full-time employment. After ten consecutive full-time
years of employment, an administrative faculty member is entitled
to 27 days of vacation. Those administrative faculty members on less
than 12-paid month contracts or those who come in the middle of a
contract year will receive vacation on a prorated basis.
Normally, vacation days can be taken only as whole
days, never by the hour. Occasionally, half-days of vacation may be
requested in writing and granted by the supervisor due to special
circumstances.
Vacation days must be used prior to June 30, the end
of the fiscal year. Unused vacation days may not be carried over to
the next fiscal year. There are no exceptions to this policy.
It is the responsibility of the administrative faculty
member to notify the supervisor in writing of vacation days planned
and taken. Each supervisor should keep a record of vacation days for
each administrative faculty member reporting to the supervisor. Administrative
faculty members should seek the approval of the supervisor in advance
for the scheduling of vacation days in order to allow coverage of
work during peak times and to allow planning for coverage of ones
responsibilities during absences.
Vacation days must be used to take time off during
academic breaks. Academic breaks are not holidays for administrative
faculty.
If an administrative faculty member leaves his or her
position at Earlham during a fiscal year, he/she is entitled to that
portion of annual vacation days represented by the fraction of the
year worked. For example, if an administrative faculty member in his
fourth year leaves Earlham after having work six months, then the
amount of vacation days would be 11 days. These vacation days may
be taken either in paid days off or in equivalent amount of salary
paid for those days, subject to the agreement of both the faculty
member and the supervisor. The supervisors decision is determinative
if the supervisor and the faculty cannot agree.
Administrative faculty members are allowed to do consulting
for pay outside Earlham or for other Earlham units, e.g. Wilderness,
on days taken as vacation days. If vacation days are not available
or the faculty members wishes not to use them for this purpose, then
the faculty member may request in writing an unpaid leave of absence
for those days that are paid by outside organizations. Exceptions
to this policy must be requested in writing and approved in writing
by the supervisor and either the President or the Provost.
Administrative faculty members taking days off to interview
for other positions must take such days as paid vacation days or as
unpaid days of an unpaid leave of absence. Exceptions to this policy
must be requested in writing and approved in writing by the supervisor
and either the President or the Provost. |
