This pool will be used to provide leave to administrative staff and faculty in need of sick time for personal use or to care for a family member.
• 41.001: Vacation and Winter Closure Time – This policy governs vacation leave for all administrative employees. This policy also governs winter closure time for all eligible "Fraternal Order of Police," police officers (FOP-blue) and "Fraternal Order of Police," police lieutenants (FOP-gold) and administrative employees.
