Time Off

Paid Vacation Time

At Fordham, we appreciate how hard employees work and recognizes the importance of providing time for rest and relaxation. We fully encourage employees to get this rest by taking vacation time.

  • Administrators accrue paid vacation time based on length of service.  Vacation time must be used  during the vacation year (defined as the 12-month period, commencing on the employee’s service date) in which it is earned.  In situations where Administrators are unable to use all accrued vacation time by their service date, they may be allowed to carry over up to ten (10) days of vacation time into the next vacation year subject to operational considerations and written supervisory approval.   

    Years of Service Monthly Accrual Annual Maximum Accrued Amount
    Less than 5  1.25 days per month 15 days (3 weeks)
     5 through 19   1.67 days per month 20 days (4 weeks) 
    20 or more 2.08 days per month 25 days (5 weeks) 

    Part-time Administrators working a minimum of 20-hours per week accrue vacation on a prorated basis.

    For more information, please refer to the Employee Handbook.

    All time off requests for Administrators must be submitted using MyTime.
