Annual Leave, Sick Leave, and Holiday Summary for Faculty Members
The following summarizes annual leave, sick leave, and holiday leave guidelines for faculty employees. For information on payout or transfer of faculty leave in the event of termination, change of position or transfer to/from another State agency or UNC campus, see Guidelines on Faculty Leave Transfer or Payout.
Annual (Vacation) Leave for Twelve-Month Faculty Members
- Twelve-month faculty are entitled to 24 days of annual leave per calendar year.
- The amount of annual leave is adjusted proportionately for part-time employees in covered positions who work half-time (50% FTE) or more.
- Leave shall be earned on a monthly basis. The monthly earnings amount is equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual leave accrual rate for each month the employee works or is on approved leave with pay at least half the working days of a month.
- The scheduling of an employee's annual leave shall be subject to the approval of his or her Department Chair or other individual designated by the Chair to authorize leave requests.
- The maximum number of unused days of annual leave that may be accrued and carried forward from one year to the next shall be 30 work days; however, unused annual leave in excess of thirty (30) days shall be converted to sick leave on December 31st of each year. In the event of a part-time faculty member, the thirty-day limit is pro-rated based on the faculty members part-time work schedule (FTE).
Sick Leave for Twelve-Month Faculty
Twelve-month faculty earn 12 sick days per year accrued on a monthly basis. Unused sick leave may be accumulated and carried forward from year to year on an unlimited basis.
Only members of TSERS are eligible to have sick leave credit converted to creditable service upon retirement. For ORP participants, any unused sick leave balance at termination or retirement is forfeited.
Twelve-month faculty are also eligible for paid serious illness and parental leave which when used does not require use of accumulated annual or sick leave. For more information on this policy, click here.
Annual (Vacation) and Sick Leave for Nine-Month Faculty
Nine-month faculty do not earn either annual or sick leave. They are eligible for paid serious illness and parental leave. For more information on this policy, click here.
Holidays
Both nine- and twelve-month faculty generally observe the same holidays as other University employees except that when classes are scheduled during a normal university holiday, faculty are expected to work when assigned teaching duties.
Please refer to the University Holiday Schedule for the most current holiday schedule. Please note that certain clinical departments of the School of Medicine have a modified holiday schedule for their employees. Clinical departments will communicate any such modified holiday schedule directly to their employees.
