Vacation Leave

Eligible full-time employees earn vacation leave, and part time eligible employees earn vacation leave in proportion to employment. Credit for prior State employment is given for each month or fraction of a month of service. Vacation leave is earned in accordance with the following schedule:

Employees with Total State Employment of Hours Accrued Per Month *Maximum Carryover to Next Fiscal Year
Less than 2 years 8 180
2 years, but less than 5 years 9 244
5 years, but less than 10 years 10 268
10 years, but less than 15 years 11 292
15 years, but less than 20 years 13 340
20 years, but less than 25 years 15 388
25 years, but less than 30 years 17 436
30 years, but less than 35 years 19 484
35 years or more 21 532

Employees must have six months' continuous employment with the State before they are eligible to take vacation leave. If termination occurs before six months' service is completed, this benefit is forfeited. (TAMUK procedures 33.03.01K1.01)

Vacation leave which has been accrued in a previous position, may not be taken during a period of employment in a position where no vacation leave accrues, but the employee shall retain such credit and may be paid for it upon resignation, dismissal or separation from State employment if there has been six months' continuous employment with the State.

* Excess hours will be converted to sick leave.
