New employees are eligible to take their earned vacation time (in consultation

review. Clark's fiscal year begins on June 1st, and quarters begin on September,
December and March each year. As of July 1st each year, you may only have the

for 11 month positions, etc.) carried forward. Any additional days will be
forfeited.

Holidays
No waiting period. Ten (10) per year as specified by the University. One is a floating holiday which may be taken during the fiscal year. You earn the floating holiday after you have been employed for three (3) months. You must take the floating holiday during the fiscal year, or it will be forfeited. Employess holding positions of less than 12 months/year receive pay for holidays that fall during weeks worked.
The Formula for calculating holiday day for part-time staff:
| Number of regular hours worked per week |
|
| ___________________________________ = |
5 days |
| Hours of Holiday Pay |
|
You may not exceed the number of hours authorized to work in a given week. For example, if you work 20 hours a week, four days a week:
20
____ = 4 hours Holiday Pay
5
You may only work 16 hours that week - for a total of 20 paid hours.
Sick Time
Sick leave is accrued at the rate of one (1) day for each calendar month worked (based on hours worked). Total days accrued not to exceed 65. You may use two sick days per year for personal business. The "personal days" must be approved by your supervisor.
Retirement plan
University Retirement Plan – 403(b) Defined Contribution Plan
Vendor choices: TIAA/CREF or Fidelity
This is a voluntary tax-deferred retirement plan. You are eligible to
participate if your position is approved for 1,000 or more hours/year and you
actually work at least 1,000 hours/year. You may join the first of any month and
must contribute 5% of your salary. There is a 2-year wait before you are
eligible for the University’s 10% contribution to this plan. However, if you
have previously worked in a regular position (not as a student or a temporary
worker) at another higher educational institution, the time you worked at this
predecessor employer may be counted toward Clark’s 2-year wait. Documentation on
the dates of employment from the previous employer may be required. If you wish
to contribute more than 5% of your salary, you may enroll in Clark’s
Supplemental Tax-Deferred Retirement Plan (SRA). Detailed information is
available in the HR Office.
Deferred Compensation Plan - Supplemental Retirement Annuity (GSRA)
You are eligible on first of month following date of hire. The SRA is an
alternative tax sheltered annuity for employees who want to contribute funds in
addition to the 5% being accumulated under the University’s regular Defined
Contribution Plan retirement plan; or for employees who work less than 1,000
year.
