Fiscal Misconduct Policy

A copy of Truman State University's Fiscal Misconduct Policy is now available online at http://businessoffice.truman.edu/policies/Fiscal%20Misconduct%20Policy.pdf.

Vacation and Sick Leave Accruals

Effective July 1, 2009, vacation and sick (medical) leave may be used once an employee has accrued leave.  There will no longer be waiting periods associated with the use of these leaves.

Vacation and sick time will begin to accrue at the end of the first month.  The first month shall be determined in this manner: if the employee's first day of employment is between the 1st and the 15th of the month, that is considered the first month; if the employee's first day of employment is on or after the 16th, the first month is considered to be the month following the beginning of employment.

Employees must be employed by the University for a minimum of six months before the University will pay for unused vacation leave upon termination of employment.  If the University terminates employment for cause, forfeiture of unused vacation leave may result.

Medical Leave Bank for Staff

The Medical Leave Bank was approved by the Board of Governors during the February 2007 meeting.

Mandatory Direct Deposit
