Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, the day after
Christmas.
Each employee is also granted one, paid personal day per calendar year.
Twelve-month employees may carry-over unused vacation days (no greater than 5) from one year
to the next.
Upon termination, twelve-month 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 paycheck. If an employee is rehired within 6 months, vacation accrual will begin
immediately based on the years of service.
During an employment transfer to another Archdiocesan entity, all earned, unused vacation will
be paid out by the terminating location.
Employees less than Twelve Months
Sick leave for employees less than twelve months accumulates at the rate of one day per month. At
the discretion of the principal, no more than 3 of these days may be used for personal leave days.
Permission for unpaid additional personal days will be granted based on the principal’s discretion
with consideration being given to need and the school’s activities planned at the time. Unpaid days
will be docked at 1/nth (number of days employee is expected to work). Arrangements for
extended periods of absence are determined by the principal after consultation with the employee.
The principal may limit the number of persons requesting personal time on the same day.
Part-time employees must work 1,040 hours during the academic year to be eligible for pro-rated
sick leave.
Contractual personnel may carry over unused sick leave days due to the succeeding year, not to
exceed a total of sixty (60) days. There is no reimbursement for days accumulated nor is there any
credit for any days accumulated over sixty (60) days. At the time of retirement, separation or
termination, there will be no reimbursement for accrued sick leave days. The Office of Catholic
Schools wishes to set a policy that will provide protection for employees rather than
reimbursement.
Vacation for Paraprofessionals, Support Staff less than Twelve Months

holiday, intercession work schedule is determined by the principal keeping in mind the specifics of
each person’s letter of employment for the year.
