VACATION

Under Article 46 of the Collective Agreement, a faculty member is entitled to one month's vacation and a librarian member is entitled to 22 days of vacation. In the case of someone working less than one year, the vacation time will be pro-rated. Payment for vacation time is included in the salary of each member (in other words, when you go on vacation, you continue to receive your salary.) Ancillary Academic Staff are entitled to four weeks vacation. Sessional Lecturers are entitled to a prorated vacation based on their 8 months of employment. Sessional Instructors are paid 4% salary in lieu of vacation time.

After 20 years of continued employment, a member is entitled to 25 working days of vacation time.

Members are entitled to an uninterrupted vacation. Vacation is not cumulative, and must be used within the academic year it is earned (between July 1 and the following June 30.) Vacation must be taken at a time that is mutually agreeable between the employee and the department head/dean. The exception is for librarian members who may extend their vacation time until December 31 following the end of the employment year, subject to mutual agreement with the Library.

Vacation in relation to Pregnancy/Parental/Adoption Leave
Faculty or librarian members who are going on Pregnancy/Parental/Adoption Leave must use the vacation time owing to them in the year it is accumulated. In other words, vacation time can be 'tacked in front' of the pregnancy/parental/adoption leave so it can be used within the current academic year. Vacation days cannot be carried forward into the next academic year.
