- Annual leave will be prorated for part-time (less than 40 hours per week) classified support employees. See Policy 5000 for definitions of employee categories.
- A maximum of two (2) years of earned annual leave may be accumulated, and the total may be used at any one (1) time by prior arrangement with the Superintendent. The exception to a two (2) year accrual would be programs/grants with the fiscal year restrictions on carry over.
- All employees may take termination pay in lieu of leave upon separation for any outstanding leave up to thirty (30) days maximum by prior arrangement with the Superintendent.
