Policy
Vacation leave is earned according to the employee’s years of service at Seminole State College. The employee’s total years of service for purposes of earning vacation leave also includes years of full-time service accrued while working at any other Florida College System institution. In order to receive credit for prior years of service at other colleges, the employee must provide a signed form from the Human Resources Office of the preceding school attesting to the years of service earned at that school in a vacation earning position. The following chart demonstrates the rate at which vacation days are earned according to the employee’s total years of service.
| Total Years of Service | 0 - 5 Years | 5 - 10 Years | 10+ Years | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vacation Days Earned/Year | 12-month Personnel, excluding Administrators (Level A1 and above) and Executive Team Members | 12 days | 15 days* | 18 days |
| Administrators (Level A1 and above) | 16 days | 19 days* | 22 days | |

The maximum number of vacation days that an employee can carry over into a new calendar year, or be paid for at the time of separation, are indicated below. Accrued vacation days in excess of the maximum for the calendar year are to be transferred to sick leave January 1. Days that are transferred shall be without compensation and will not be used in the calculation of terminal pay for unused sick leave. An employee shall be paid for unused vacation leave in accordance with the College Policy.
"Service" is earned when the employee is on duty, on approved leave with pay for at least the major fraction of the month, paid holidays, calendar-designated paid non-duty days, or non-paid workers' compensation leave.
In the case of death of the employee, payment of unused vacation leave shall be made payable to the employee's beneficiary, estate, or as provided by law, in accordance with the College Terminal Pay Policy,

12-month Personnel, excluding | 44 days | 30 days |
Administrators (Level A1 and above) | 44 days | 30 days |
Executive Team Members | 60 days | 30 days |
Twelve-month employees who are appointed to a position of less than twelve (12) months under which vacation leave does not accrue will be paid for unused vacation leave at the time of appointment in accordance with terminal pay guidelines as indicated above.
