Vacation

Management and Professional Staff

All MaPS begin with twenty vacation days, which are accrued on a prorated basis during their first year of service, and will earn additional vacation days in recognition of long service: the Vacation accrual is linked to the employee's anniversary date and is automatically calculated. This information can be found on your paycheque under 'Leave Balances'.  

All vacation leaves must be approved by your department and in accordance with university policies and procedures. 

The amount of vacation days you receive is based on the number of years you have worked at the University of Calgary. 

  • First 7 years: 20 days
  • Year 8: 21
  • Year 9: 22
  • Year 10: 23
  • Year 11: 24
  • Year 12 - 21: 25
  • Years 22+: 30 days

Example: Once an employee has completed 7 years of service, beginning on the anniversary date for their 8th year of service, an employee will begin accruing at a higher rate and would be entitled to 21 days of vacation in their 8th year.

There may be instances where an employee's completed years of service may be different, which could be a result of a break in service or other contributing factors. If you have any further questions concerning your vacation balance or entitlement, consult with your manager or the Integrated Service Centre at hr@ucalgary.ca or 403.210.9300
