ANNUAL LEAVE

 

 

All twelve-month employees of the West Feliciana Parish School Board earn annual leave with pay per fiscal year (July 1 - June 30).

 

CONTINUOUS EMPLOYMENT ANNUAL LEAVE EARNED
Less than one year Pro rata of 10 working days
One to nine years 10 working days
Nine but less than ten years 10 working days plus pro rata of working days
Ten to nineteen years 15 working days plus pro rata of working days
Twenty years or more 20 working days

 

In those cases where principals, assistant principals, and staff members have not earned advanced degrees, the Superintendent may grant additional time until the advanced degree is earned.  He/she is also authorized to grant additional time for professional growth to those principals, assistant principals, and staff members who wish to attend summer school.  A written request for use of annual leave must be submitted to and approved by appropriate personnel.

 

A maternity leave or a leave without pay granted by the School Board will not interrupt continuous service under this policy, but such leave shall not be included as part of the total years of service in determining amount of annual leave earned.

 

Annual leave may be accumulated and carried forward as earned up to a maximum of forty (40) working days.  Any annual leave beyond forty (40) working days will not be credited to the employee's accumulated leave except where specifically authorized by the Superintendent or the School Board or when earned prior to July 1, 1996.

 

Any unused annual leave at the time of separation (termination, resignation, retirement, entrance into DROP, or death) shall be paid to the employee or his/her heirs on or before the next regular payday for the pay cycle during which the employee was working at the time of separation or no later than fifteen (15) days following the date of separation, whichever occurs first, at the employee's daily rate of pay.

 

For persons with more than forty (40) days of annual leave as of July 1, 1996, the full amount of annual leave will be carried forward.  However, the amount of annual leave for this group of people shall never exceed the amount carried forward as of July 1, 1996.
