Section 89504 Of Article 1. General Provisions From California Education Code >> Division 8. >> Title 3. >> Part 55. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 1.
89504
. (a) Upon separation from service without fault on his or her
part, an employee is entitled to a lump-sum payment as of the time
of separation for any unused or accumulated vacation or for any time
off to which the employee is entitled by reason of previous overtime
work where compensating time off for overtime work is provided for by
the trustees. This sum shall be computed by projecting the
accumulated time on a calendar basis so that the lump sum will equal
the amount which the employee would have been paid had the employee
taken the time off but not separated from the service.
(b) Employees separated from service through fault of their own
are entitled to a lump-sum payment for compensating time off for
overtime work, and in addition, the portion, if any, of unused
vacation as the trustees may determine. The computation of this sum
shall be based on actual accumulated time without projection as
provided in subdivision (a).
(c) Lump-sum payment for vacation shall not be made to a person
who separates from a position for the purpose of accepting another
position in the state service, except either of the following:
(1) Upon movement to a position in which vacation credits are
neither accrued nor used.
(2) Upon reassignment of an employee, subsequent to January 1,
1965, from a position other than an academic year position, to an
academic year position.
However, a lump-sum payment shall not be made to a person who
returns to a position in the same class within 15 working days of the
date of the person's resignation.
(d) Except for payment authorized or excluded under subdivision
(c), an employee who returns to state service during the period
through which his or her lump-sum payment was computed may refund the
amount of lump-sum payment which exceeds his or her break in service
and have the balance of credits restored as though he or she had
remained in state service and taken the time off.
(e) If subdivisions (a) to (d), inclusive, are in conflict with
the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to
Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 3560) of Division 4 of Title 1 of
the Government Code, the memorandum of understanding shall be
controlling without further legislative action, except that if the
provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure
of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved
by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
(f) Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, the trustees
may provide for lump-sum payment for vacation for nonrepresented
employees of the California State University.
