Vacation is accrued following one month of continuous service in a qualifying pay period. A qualifying pay period consists of 11 days or more of full pay. For Intermittent employees, a qualifying pay period consists of an accumulation of 160 hours in consecutive pay periods.

Accrual Rate/Amount

Some employee groups accrue vacation at a rated based on total State Service. Others accrue vacation at a flat rate regardless of State Service. The amount of accrual is based on the employee's time base (i.e., full time = full rate; part time = pro-rate rate; intermittent = full time rate after a month of qualifying service). Employees in a temporary position earn vacation leave credits based on class code in which they are employed. Please see CSU salary schedule for vacation accrual code.

Accruals earned after 11 days of pay cannot be used until the first day of the following pay period. Vacation must be used in increments of one-half hour (0.50).

Vacation maximums are determined by bargaining unit contracts. All employees eligible to earn vacation (represented and nonrepresented) may accumulate unused vacation hours provided that, on December 31 the limit is not exceeded. See appropriate collective bargaining agreements for maximums.

Vacation Maximums
Group	Length of Service	Vacation Maximum
R01, R02, R05 thru R09	10 years or less	272 hours
	More than 10 years	384 hours
R03, R04	10 years or less	320 hours
	More than 10 years	440 hours
Confidential	Regardless of Service	384 hours
Management	10 years or less	384 hours
	More than 10 years	440 hours
President	Regardless of Service	440 hours
Other Non-Represented	Contact Payroll Office

Under certain conditions, as specified in the bargaining unit contracts, employees may be allowed to carry over more vacation then their maximums, if authorized by their supervisor and the President of CSUMB. The amount of hours over the maximum is lost and cannot be paid off in a lump sum.

Separations

Upon separation from State Service some represented employees are entitled to a lump-sum vacation. Employees who move to an academic-year position or to a position in which vacation credits are neither accrued nor used are entitled to a lump-sum payment for the balance at the time of the appointment to the other position. Employees leaving CSU to another State Agency in which vacation credits are accrued and used differently are entitled to receive lump-sum payment for the balance at the time of separation.

1. If the separation is with fault (AWOL or Disciplinary), or the employee has moved to a class not eligible for vacation, the lump-sum vacation cannot exceed the available balance.
2. If the separation is without fault, the lump-sum vacation amount is computed by projecting the accumulated time on a calendar basis so that the lump-sum amount will equal the amount which the employee would have been paid had the employee taken the time off but not separated.

Employees who are separated to move to another campus or non-CSU position within State Service may be allowed carry over a mutually agreed upon vacation balance
(Note: "Mutually agreed" implies agreement between the employees and the new employer).
