by the use of accumulated vacation and such extension of time shall not be considered a violation
of the inverse seniority provisions of the layoff.
Employees engaged on an academic year who are not working summer school, shall, within one
week of the completion of all summer school bidding, designate the amount of vacation leave
hours to be used during the fiscal year. Employees engaged in summer school shall, prior to July
1 of each year, designate the amount of vacation leave hours to be used. Such employees shall
indicate the vacation hours they intend to use, pay period by pay period, through the beginning of
the next academic year. Employees may use any amount of vacation time available to them, up to
a total of eighty (80) hours per pay period. The amount of vacation time used need not be the

holiday pay eligibility or conversion of vacation leave to sick leave. Such vacation shall be paid at
the rate at which it was earned.
