VACATIONS AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE FOR UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES UNDER CIVIL SERVICE The following statement: For a long time the University has been seeking an authoritative decision from the Civil Service as to the control of the University over the vacations and absences on leave of University employees under Civil Service. Several letters have been written to the Commission by the Comptroller on this matter. The following letter from President A. D. Early of the State Civil Service Commission evidently settles the matter by lodging full power and authority in the Board of Trustees of the University: January 9, 1920 Mr. Lloyd Morey, Comptroller, University of Illinois M Y DEAR M R . MOREY: (6) I refer to your recent letters concerning vacations. The matter has been taken up with all the departments, and varied answers have been given. I call your attention to Section 1, Paragraph 22 of the Civil Administrative Code, which is as follows: "Each employee in the several departments shall be entitled during each calendar year to fourteen days* leave of absence with full pay. In special and meritorious cases where to limit the annual leave to fourteen days in any one calendar year would work peculiar hardship, it may, in the discretion of the director of the department, be extended." We will adopt that section as a rule for vacations, with the addition of the words "appointing officer" after the word "department" and before the words "be extended" at the close. I will also add that we submitted the matter to the Attorney General. In the opinion rendered December 22"in the case of the University of Illinois, I am of the opinion that the Board of Trustees have the power and authority to determine and fix the length of the vacations of its employees as they may deem for the best interests of the University;" so far as the Commission is concerned, it will be guided by that opinion. I trust the delay has not inconvenienced you. We have understood the importance of the matter to you and to departments of the State, and so have given it careful consideration with results hereinabove outlined. I am, Yours respectfully, STATE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION A. D. EARLY President This report was received for record.
