  7. Sick Leave • TAMUS Regulation 31.03.02 • An employee does not accrue sick leave for any full month in which he/she is on leave without pay • If an employee is on leave the first day of the month, they will not be able to use that accrual for that month until they return to work • Upon termination or retirement can donate to sick pool, keep for 1 year, or transfer to another state agency

  8. Vacation • Not eligible to use until the employee has 6 months of continuous state service, which may include prior state service. • Transferable • Paid out upon termination or retirement and taxed at 25% • An employee does not accrue vacation for any full month in which he/she is on leave without pay

  10. LWOP • Any LWOP must be called in or emailed to payroll immediately, ext. 3706, payroll@tamuk.edu • LWOP can only be used after all other options have been exhausted with the exception of sick leave. Can only be exhausted if the employee is actually on sick leave. • This will cause the employees pay to be adjusted • Depending on date reported, and if we have processed the payroll affected, this may require a deletion of the employees direct deposit and a re-issue on a biweekly payroll. • If an employee is on LWOP for the entire month they will not accrue or be paid longevity.

  11. COMPENSATORY TIME • State Comp Time • Earned when an employee has not physically worked more than 40 hours in a work week, but the combination of hours worked, paid leave, and/or paid holidays exceeds 40 hours = Reported over 40 • Employee is allowed equivalent comp time off for every hour paid in excess of 40 hours in a work week. • If the actual time worked was over 40 hours earning FLSA (1-1/2) time, and the total hours paid also exceeds 40 hours, the employee is allowed equivalent comp time off for every hour paid in excess of 40 hours, minus FLSA Comp time.

  12. State Comp (continued) • State Comp time must be used within the following 12 months from the week the time was earned, or the time is forfeited. • If an employee leaves system employment, they may not be paid for accrued state comp time. • Exempt employees that were required to work on a holiday must have their department approval in advance and send an email to payroll with the hours worked to be entered manually into Leave Traq. • Non-exempt employees State comp will be posted to Leave Traq automatically.

  15. FLSA Comp (continued) • FLSA Comp time may be accrued up to a maximum of 240 hours, (160 hours of actual work times 1-1/2). • Any FLSA Comp Time earned in excess of 240 hours must be paid until the balance again reaches 240 hours. • If an employee leaves system employment, they must be paid for accrued FLSA Comp time.
