You should make your vacation request well in advance to allow time for your supervisor to accommodate all requests and adequately staff the department. Since all vacation requests must be approved in advance, we strongly recommend that you receive final vacation approval before making financial commitments. You should take all of your earned vacation time each year. Non-union employees who work full time will accrue 20 days/4 weeks per year. Employees who work less than 35 hours per week will accrue vacation hours on a pro-rated basis, based upon hours worked. All vacation time must be approved in advance by your Department Head and scheduled in accordance with operation needs. Vacation should be used on a current basis, but up to 10 days/2weeks may be carried over into the following year, as long as the total vacation carried over on December 31st of each year does not exceed your annual entitlement. The maximum entitlement accrual for full time employees is 20 days/4 weeks (one year of vacation earnings). This maximum accrual is pro-rated for employees who work less than 35 hours but will never exceed one year's worth of vacation earnings. Unused, accrued vacation time beyond your maximum annual entitlement shall be forfeited. Effective June 30, 2022, up to 10 days/2 weeks of accrued vacation time will be paid on separation of employment with Yeshiva (pro-rated for employees who work less than 35 hours per week). However, any employee who does not provide adequate notice of at least two weeks upon resignation, forfeits any rights to unused accrued vacation pay. Employees who move from a vacation-accruing position to a part time or casual staff position that is not eligible to accrue vacation time, will retain the vacation accrued at the time of the transfer, up to the maximum allowed, and may take the time while actively employed. They will be paid not more than the maximum allowable amount of accrued time upon separation of employment with Yeshiva. Employees who move from a vacation-accruing position to an executive or faculty position that does not require accounting for vacation time earned or taken, will forfeit their accrued time upon moving into the new position. Please consult the Human Resources Office with questions about your employment category. For more on Time off and Leaves of Absence please consult the Employee Handbook. Sick Time Full-time employees accrue sick days at the rate of one day per month; part-time employees are eligible to accrue sick leave on a pro-rated basis. Full-time employees can accumulate up to a maximum of 130 days and employees can use up to 56 hours of sick leave for family members and other provisions in accordance with NYC regulations. Part-time employees accumulate and accrue sick leave on a pro-rated basis. If you use all of your available sick days, you can substitute and use your accrued vacation time. Unused sick days are not paid out when you leave Yeshiva. Sick days can be used only in cases of genuine illness or injury or other reasons as defined in the NYC regulations and if you are on active pay status immediately prior to the illness or injury. Accrual begins when you complete four months of active employment and is retroactive to your date of hire. For more detailed explanation of Leave policies please click here.
