| Paid Annual Leave (PAL) is designed to include Vacation, Holiday and Sick Hours in a single category. You may use any number of hours in your PAL balance in any way you want and at any time, provided departmental scheduling allows, adequate notice is given, and approval is received from your supervisor. |

| As part of the PAL Program a certain number of hours will also accrue and be set aside in an extended account. These hours are generally used for an extended illness. |

| Employees hired for a minimum of 32 scheduled hours per pay period begin accruing PAL/EXTENDED Sick Leave hours on their first day of employment, however, new employees must complete six (6) months of employment to be eligible for compensation from PAL or EXTENDED Sick Leave Hours. During the first year of employment, employees (with hire dates prior to July 1st) are eligible to use the number of PAL hours accrued for that calendar year. All part-time employees earn pro-rated benefits based on scheduled hours. Flexible status employees receive a 5% differential on their base hourly rate in lieu of benefits. |
