2015 GNYADA Employee Handbook

A standard vacation week runs Monday through Friday.

An employee must submit his or her request for vacation to his or her supervisor for preliminary approval at least two (2) weeks in advance of the proposed commencement of the vacation. Final approval will be given by the President or his or her designee. GNYADA reserves the right to deny a request if, in GNYADA's judgment, the vacation will interfere with GNYADA's operations. Vacations must be taken in one (1), two (2) or three (3) week increments unless prior approval is obtained to take a smaller increment. All employees who are entitled to vacation benefits must utilize the benefits by December 31 st of the year in which the benefit accrues. Vacation leave cannot be accrued and/or carried from year to year.

An employee may not receive pay in lieu of vacation. Further, an employee will not be entitled to or receive pay for unused vacation upon resignation, retirement or discharge.

If an employee’s vacation includes a holiday on which the GNYADA offices are closed, the employee will receive regular pay for that holiday. A holiday which occurs during an employee’s vacation will not extend the vacation.

Workers' Compensation

GNYADA provides for a program at its own expense to reduce the financial impact of an on-the-job injury suffered by an employee. This program covers medical expenses and a percentage of an employee's base income.

An employee who is injured on the job must report such accident to their immediate supervisor in writing immediately but no later than 24 hours from the time of occurrence. Both the employee and his/her supervisor must complete an accident report form. Appropriate forms are available.
