- Staff who are voluntarily separating from the university must provide at least two (2) weeks’ notice to their supervisor.
- Accrued vacation and/or holidays do not extend employment. In other words, an employee may not complete a final period of employment through the use of accrued vacation or holiday entitlement. The date of termination should be for the final day worked in the department.
- Accrued but unused vacation time has cash value and upon separation from the University, Baylor will pay for accrued vacation balances up to the maximum payout levels in the table shown below.
- Example 1: An employee who has 4 years of service with 40 hours of accrued and unused vacation time at separation will be paid for 40 hours of unused vacation time in his / her final paycheck.
- Example 2: An employee who has 8years of service with 200 hours of accrued and unused vacation time at separation will be paid for 100 hours of unused vacation time in his / her final paycheck.
- Balances used to determine maximum payout at separation will be determined as follows:
- If an employee’s separation date is any day other than the last day of the employees pay period, the maximum payout balance will be determined by using the employees vacation time balance as of the end of the previous pay period less any vacation time taken in the current pay period.
- If the employee’s separation date is on the last day of the pay period, the maximum payout balance will be their vacation time balance as of their separation date.
