Further information regarding leaves may be found in the UUP Agreement, Article 23; the Policies of the Board of Trustees, Article XIII; and the Handbook for Faculty and Professional Staff. Questions about sick leave procedures may be directed to the Office of Human Resources.
Holiday Accrual Process
REGULAR HOLIDAYS
-
IF YOU DID NOT WORK THE HOLIDAY, NO ACTION IS REQUIRED. As part of the updated process, effective Sept. 1, 2012, you will not deposit or charge the holiday if you are entitled to it and you did not work on the date the holiday is officially observed.
- IF YOU DID WORK THE HOLIDAY, ACTION IS STILL REQUIRED. You will enter the time you are entitled to in the "Earned Amount" box for each holiday (at the bottom right of the screen).
Click on "SAVE TIME RECORD" button (on the bottom of the screen toward the left). This deposits the holiday(s) into your "bucket" for use within that month or at a future date.
Holidays will always be listed on the bottom right of your screen. Questions may be directed to Kathy Gallagher in Human Resources.
FLOATING HOLIDAYS
May be Presidentially-designated to be charged on a different day.
Election Day (November) and Lincoln's Birthday (February)
The two Presidentially-designated floaters we enjoy each year require a slightly different approach than a standard holiday, as floaters are already loaded (added to the employee's accrual balance) and because floaters may actually occur on a day other than the day observed.
ELECTION DAY (NOVEMBER)
Full-time employees should leave the "1" in the Holiday Time Worked box (bottom right of the screen).
Next, employees should proceed following one of the two scenarios below:
- IF FLOATING HOLIDAY IS NOT WORKED ON THE DESIGNATED "OBSERVED DATE" - FT employees will also charge appropriate accruals (unlike the process for standard holidays). This step subtracts the day from the accrual balance.
- OR, IF FLOATING HOLIDAY IS WORKED ON THE "OBSERVED DATE" - FT employees won't take any action, as the day has already been "loaded" into the employee's accrual balance for use at a future date (as a floating holiday).
LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY (FEBRUARY)
Full-time employees who DID NOT WORK on Lincoln's Birthday will also charge appropriate accruals (unlike the process for standard holidays). This step subtracts the day from the accrual balance.
Full-time employees who DID WORK on Lincoln's Birthday should retain, unchanged, the "1" credit already reflected in the Earned Amount in the Holiday Time Worked box. No charge should be made to the record.
LASTLY, SAVE YOUR ENTRIES. After making entries, be sure to hit "Save" in the bottom left of the pop-up box in which you make your charge, AND also "Save Time Record," bottom left of the main screen - this step actually processes your your entries in the system.
NOTE: Regarding Floating Holidays that have a separate, designated OBSERVED DATE - if the Actual holiday date is not worked, employee must charge leave credits following the usual process.
PART-TIME EMPLOYEES
Part-time Employees who are regularly scheduled to work on the ACTUAL floating date, will also accrue it per their individual rate.
To document the OBSERVED DATE of a floating holiday: (OBSERVED DATE for Floating Holidays is noted within the Holiday Time Worked box at the bottom right of the screen.)
- If regularly scheduled to report on the OBSERVED DATE for the floating holiday and not worked an employee should also enter a charge for it.
- If not normally scheduled to work on the OBSERVED DATE for the floating holiday, no action is necessary, as the holiday has already been accrued, making it available for use as a floating holiday in the future.
LASTLY, SAVE YOUR ENTRIES. After making entries, be sure to hit "Save" in the bottom left of the pop-up box in which you make your charge, AND also "Save Time Record," bottom left of the main screen - this step actually processes your entries in the system.
Parent Leave General Guidelines (Faculty)
Binghamton University's goal is to recruit the best faculty, help them flourish, and
retain them as part of our academic community. To help achieve that goal, we strive
to create a family-friendly environment consistent with the recent changes to Appendix
42 of the UUP agreement below regarding family leave.
Faculty in titles eligible for continuing appointment, also known as tenure track
faculty, face special challenges in pursuing their teaching and intellectual work.
To assure that they are able to balance their professional responsibilities with the
demands placed on them by changes in their family life, we have created the following
general guidelines.
1. Faculty members may use sick leave and FMLA, per state policy, for pregnancy and
after childbirth (https://binghamton.edu/human-resources/leaves/leaves-childcare-general-parameters.html).
2. To assure that students receive uninterrupted instruction, departments' curricula
are delivered effectively, and faculty are able to pursue their academic work and
maximize their contributions to the University, deans may, with the approval of the
provost, adjust faculty members' contributions to mission following childbirth or
adoption. Faculty may request that their work responsibilities be adjusted during
the semester of a birth or adoption or during the semester following birth or adoption.
A decision regarding the semester in which the adjustment will take place will be
made in discussion between the faculty member and the dean, in consultation with the
department chair in departmentalized units, and will take into account the needs of
the faculty member, the department, and the college or school. During this period,
the faculty member may have their professional obligation allocated exclusively to
research and service. During this period, faculty members will continue to advise
students.
3. Upon the faculty member's request, the continuing appointment clock will be stopped
for up to one year for continuing appointment track faculty members following the
birth or adoption of a child with the following stipulations:
•In order to allow sufficient time for administration consideration, it is recommended that at least three months prior to the birth or adoption of a child faculty members should request that the continuing appointment clock be stopped.
•Faculty are eligible for a tenure clock stop without a change in title, obligation
or leave status. The form requesting this should be directed to HR.
• Deans must receive the endorsement of the Provost and communicate the change of
status to the Office of Human Resources with a copy to the Provost's Office so that
the faculty member's continuing appointment eligibility date will be properly computed.
• Requests to stop the continuing appointment clock during the year in which the faculty
member's continuing appointment process begins require exceptional justification.
• These are general guidelines and final approval of all requests will be at the discretion
of management.
