LEAVE ACCRUAL RECORDS
Vacation and sick leaves are accrued based on the leave accrual codes established on the Payroll Personnel System (PPS). Leave code is established by the department when an appointment is initially set up. For staff employees thereafter, the PPS will re-derive the leave code on the appointment during month-begin periodic maintenance. The PPS does not re-derive the leave codes for Academic employees.
Re-derivation of leave codes for staff employees is based on the Employment Service Credit (ESC) and prior service months recorded on PPS. ESC is recorded on the EDB once a month based on the hours on pay status. To earn 1 month ESC, an employee has to be paid 50 percent or more.

LEAVE ACCRUAL CODES
A full-time employee shall not accrue vacation in excess of an amount specified for his/her leave code on the chart below unless an exceptional approval has been granted. Vacation hours earned above the maximum is lost and should not be re-instated. Leave taken is always subtracted first before leave accruals are credited. There is no maximum on the amount of sick leave that may be accrued by the employee. Under qualifying exceptional circumstances, which must be documented and approved by the employees' supervisor and department/division head, the University provides employees up to an additional four months to take vacation leave in order to bring their accrual below the maximum limit. During these four months employees continue to accrue vacation. Qualifying exceptional circumstances should be rare.
