Judicial vacation
22.14(1) Supreme court justices, court of appeals judges, district judges, district associate
judges, full-time associate juvenile judges, and full-time associate probate judges are entitled to
27 working days of vacation per calendar year. After 15 years of service with the judicial branch,
supreme court justices, court of appeals judges, district judges, district associate judges, full-time
associate juvenile judges, and full-time associate probate judges are entitled to 32 working days
of vacation per calendar year.
Vacation schedules of district judges, district associate judges, full-time associate juvenile
judges, and full-time associate probate judges shall be coordinated through the office of the chief
judge of the district. The chief judge shall cause a record to be kept of the amount of vacation
taken by each judicial officer in the district. The number of vacation days shall be prorated during
the calendar years a judicial officer begins and separates from judicial service.
No more than 32 working days of accrued, unused vacation from a prior year may be carried
into a calendar year. Separation from judicial office shall cancel all unused vacation time. No
compensation shall be granted for unused vacation time remaining at the time of separation.
22.14(2) Schedules for judicial magistrates should be arranged by the chief judge of each
district to accommodate a reasonable vacation period; however, a judicial magistrate shall not
be entitled to any specific vacation days for which compensation may be granted, nor may
compensation be granted for days not taken prior to separation from judicial service.
