7. In the event the employing facility has an unexpected closing during a planned vacation,
the vacation will not be rescheduled.
8. Only actual hours worked in a workweek qualify for overtime compensation.
9. Vacation time may be taken in hourly increments. If vacation time is used during a workweek
in which an employee has worked more than his/her normal work schedule, the amount of
vacation time used will be reduced.
10. In the event an employee’s status change (full-time to part-time) deems him/her no longer
eligible for paid time off, already earned vacation hours are paid out following employee’s
status change.
11. Temporary employees are not entitled to paid vacation time.
12. Upon Termination, employees will be paid for any unused, accrued vacation time. If an
employee has used more vacation than earned, deduction of those days will be taken from
employee’s final payroll check. If an employee is rehired within six (6) months, vacation
accrual will begin immediately based on the years of service.
13. During an employment transfer to another Archdiocese of Atlanta entity, all earned, unused
vacation will be paid out by the terminating location.
3.3 SICK LEAVE POLICY
Full-time and part-time employees working no less than 1,040 hours annually will accrue sick time
on a prorated basis determined by the straight time worked per week (paid hours only, not
including leave time). Non-exempt employees will not accrue additional sick hours for overtime
hours paid in a workweek.
The Sick Leave Policy provides time off due to illness or injury of the employee. Employees are
allowed to use up to five (5) sick days annually to care for an immediate family member (i.e. sick
child, spouse, parent or grandparent) or for routine physician appointments/wellness visits. Said
days are also subject to pastor, principal, or department head approval. Submission of a
doctor’s note may be requested by the pastor, principal or department head.
The Archdiocese of Atlanta has the option of asking for a doctor’s statement of
condition to document the circumstances of any absence. In the event that an
employee is absent from work due to illness or injury for five or more consecutive
days, the employee may be required to provide the employer a Release to Return to
Work from the employee’s physician. Employees are unable to report to work due to
illness or injury must notify their immediate supervisor before the scheduled start of
their workday. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action.
***Catholic Schools employees: See Section 4210 of the Catholic Schools Employee Policy Manual***
1. Sick leave accrues from the date of hire for employees scheduled to
work at least 20 hours per week, but no less than 1,040 hours
annually.
