** A postdoc at BYU reported to me that postdocs
are classified as “Non-CFS track faculty”, i.e. non-tenure-track faculty, which
is reflected here
*** A postdoc at UWyoming reports that postdoc classifications are not consistent! Some postdocs get vacation and others don’t.
Annual
= vacation days granted as a block at the beginning of the year to be used
whenever
Accrue
= vacation days gained incrementally with each pay period
FY =
fiscal year basis, July 1 to June 30
EY =
employment year basis, starting with date of hire
Waiting
period = length of employment before vacation can be taken
Carry
over = unused vacation days can be "carried over" into the next year
