POLICY
Inherent
in
the
Saint
Louis
University
mission
is
the
heritage
and
tradition
that
promotes
1)
the
emotional,
social,
intellectual
needs
of
the
individual,
and
2)
the
freedom
of
the
individual
to
determine
how
these
needs
are
to
be
met.
In
keeping
with
this
philosophy,
the
University
provides
vacation
time
to
eligible
staff
to
be
used
however
and
whenever
the
need
or
desire
arises,
provided
supervisory
approval
is
obtained
and
the
desired
number
of
vacation
hours
have
been
accrued.
SCOPE

policy
applies
to
all
regular
part
time
and
full
time
staff
of
Saint
Louis
University,
with
the
exception
of
temporary
staff
and
staff
with
written
employment
contracts
or
collective
bargaining
agreements.
ELIGIBILITY

entitled
to

accrual.
