Holidays
Full-time employees receive approximately sixteen paid holidays per year.

Vacation (Faculty do not receive vacation)
New full-time support and professional staff accumulate 8 hours of paid vacation leave per month of employment. The rate of accrual increases after five and ten years of employment with the District.

Sick Leave
Full-time employees accrue 8 hours of sick leave per month of full employment. Up to two days of sick leave may be used for personal business. The District also provides short-term disability benefits for employees who are not able to work due to extended illness or injury.

Bereavement Leave
The district will grant two days of bereavement leave to full-time employees due to a death in the immediate family (spouse, parents, brother, sister, grandparents, children).

Spring and Winter Break
All full-time employees receive paid leave during Spring Break (two days for non-faculty employees) and Winter break (depending on the timing of the holidays, usually ten days).

Summer Hours
Non-faculty employees receive Fridays off during Summer Hours, and extend their Monday through Thursday work hours to 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM with only one-half hour for lunch. (Some positions may require the employee to be present on Fridays, but will provide other days off in exchange.)

Jury Duty
Upon presentation of proper evidence, necessary time off for jury duty will be granted without loss of leave time to any full-time employee called to serve on a jury or for a court appearance when subpoenaed as a witness, so long as the employee is not the defendant or plaintiff.

Military Leave
Any full-time regular employee who is required to be absent from work for military training or duty is entitled to a maximum of fifteen days of paid leave per year to comply with such orders.

Family and Medical Leave
Any employee of the District who has been employed at least one year and for at least 1,250 hours per year is eligible for up to twelve (12) weeks unpaid leave within a fiscal year for:

childbirth, adoption

serious illness of an employee's immediate family member (spouse, son, daughter, or parent)

serious illness of the employee

During the eligible FMLA period, eligible employees should first use all accumulated sick leave, compensatory time and any short-term disability benefits prior to commencement of unpaid leave status.

Professional Development Leave of Absence
A leave of absence may be requested for up to one year for the purpose of academic study. Such leave must meet established criteria and must be approved by the College President and Chancellor.
