Vacation, with the approval of the employer, may be taken at any time during the college year. If the employee is not permitted to take his or her full annual vacation, the amount not taken shall accumulate for use in the next year or be paid for in cash at the option of the governing board.
(e)
Earned vacation shall not become a vested right until completion of the initial six months of employment.
(f)
The employee may be granted vacation during the college year even though not earned at the time the vacation is taken.
(g)
If an employee is terminated and had been granted vacation which was not yet earned at the time of termination of his or her services, the employer shall deduct from the employee’s severance check the full amount of salary which was paid for such unearned days of vacation taken.
(h)
Upon separation from service, the employee shall be entitled to lump-sum compensation for all earned and unused vacation, except that employees who have not completed six months of employment in regular status shall not be entitled to such compensation.
