A Staff Assembly-approved proposal that would give hourly employees more vacation time and would re-structure the current vacation distribution system will not be voted on by the Chancellor’s Cabinet until April 26.

Randy Chambers, chair of the university Staff Assembly, said yesterday that if the Cabinet approved the proposal, despite the delay in its review, it would still be able to go into effect by the June 1 target date.

The proposal, which would give more vacation days for staff members with five or more years of experience, was approved by the assembly Feb. 7.

Changes would include adding a middle tier to the current structure to give non-exempt employees with five to 10 years experience 17 vacation days a year, as well as increasing vacation days for those with 10 or more years of experience to 22 days per year.

Non-exempt employees are those eligible for overtime pay.

If approved, employees in the new middle tier would see vacation time increase by more than 40 percent.
