VACATION TIME -- ELIGIBILITY -- MAXIMUM TIME -- RIGHT TO ANNUAL
VACATION. (1) An appointing authority shall permit each officer or employee to
take vacation leave to the extent such leave has accrued.
(2) Vacation leave may be accrued and accumulated only as follows, unless
amounts in excess of the permitted accumulations have been expressly
authorized in writing by the board of examiners during unusual or emergency
situations:
During the first ten thousand four hundred (10,400) hours of credited
state service, vacation leave may be accrued and accumulated to a maximum of
one hundred ninety-two (192) hours;
During the second ten thousand four hundred (10,400) hours of credited
state service, vacation leave may be accrued and accumulated to a maximum of
two hundred forty (240) hours;
During the third ten thousand four hundred (10,400) hours of credited

two hundred eighty-eight (288) hours;
After thirty-one thousand two hundred (31,200) hours of credited state
service, vacation leave may be accrued and accumulated to a maximum of three
hundred thirty-six (336) hours.
(3) Vacation leave shall be transferable from department to department
only to the extent that it is accrued and accumulated.
(4) Vacation leave shall not be earned, accrued or accumulated during any
pay period in which the maximum accruals and accumulations provided by this
section have been met.
(5) Vacation leave not taken shall be compensated for at the time of
separation only to the maximum accruals and accumulations allowed by this
section.
(6) Vacation leave shall be taken on a workday basis. Regularly scheduled
days off and officially designated holidays falling within a period of
vacation leave shall not be counted against vacation leave. Vacation leave
shall not be taken in advance of being earned and shall only be taken in pay
periods subsequent to being earned.
(7) With the approval of the appointing authority for both the
transferring and receiving officer or employee, an officer or employee may
transfer accrued vacation leave, up to a maximum of forty (40) hours per
fiscal year, to another officer or employee for purposes of sick leave in the
event the receiving officer or employee or a family member suffers from a
serious illness or injury. The amount transferred shall be converted to sick
leave. An officer or employee shall not be allowed to receive more than one
hundred sixty (160) hours of transferred leave per fiscal year, and a transfer
shall not occur until the receiving employee has exhausted all of his or her
accrued sick and vacation leave. An officer or employee shall not be eligible
to transfer vacation leave unless his or her balance exceeds eighty (80)
hours, and in no event may an officer or employee transfer an amount of
accrued leave which would result in an accrued balance of less than eighty
(80) hours.
