Do members accrue vacation time or sick time?
No! This is one of the most difficult things for many members, especially since youre in the schools where often you are exposed to all sorts of colds and flues. Members only accrue hours counted toward their term of service as they serve (or receive training). Our full-time members can plan to take 2 vacation weeks and 8 holidays during the program year (not accruing hours) and still complete their 1,700 hour service commitment by mid-June. Schools are closed for many more holidays and longer vacation periods, so full-time members perform other allowable activities to accrue their hours during this time. We help members plan allowable activities related to our program goals. Part-time members take all the school holidays and vacation time off (don’t accrue hours) and can still complete their 900 term of service in June.
