What is Rice University's policy on vacation and time off?

Rice University offers vacation and time off through its Paid Time Off (PTO) program. Employees are eligible to receive up to 12 days of PTO in their first year of employment, and this increases to 18 days after the first year. PTO is accrued based on the number of hours worked, and can be used for vacation, personal days, or any other purpose for which it may be used. PTO must be approved by a supervisor in advance. In addition, Rice University offers 10 paid holidays per year.
