Arizona State University is reinforcing its position as an employer of choice by expanding vacation and paid parental leave benefits.
Vacation for staff
Effective with the Jan. 8, 2024 pay period, benefits-eligible university and classified staff and non-faculty administrators will accrue vacation time at the same rate:
- 22 days annually, or 6.77 hours per pay period.
- Vacation accruals are prorated based on full-time equivalency status.
This change is an increase for staff who have been with us for less than four years. Accrual for employees with four or more years of service and all other terms related to vacation will remain unchanged. Visit the vacation accruals page for details.
Paid parental leave for staff
Effective Jan. 1, 2024, benefits-eligible university and classified staff and non-faculty administrators may start their paid parental leave within the 12 months following the birth or adoption of a child rather than needing to begin the leave immediately upon the birth or adoption.
All other aspects of paid parental leave will remain unchanged. Review the family and medical leave policy for details.
We are pleased to offer these expanded benefits to our dedicated staff. Email the Employee Service Center with any questions.
