UNM Administration has approved an extension to the temporary increase to maximum annual leave accruals for faculty and staff. The previously announced deadline of June 30, 2022 to use accrued annual leave exceeding 252 hours up to 308 has been extended to August 31, 2022. This extension is provided to give employees the opportunity to take advantage of the summer vacation season.
Faculty and staff at main, branch, and HSC campuses with high annual leave balances are encouraged to take their well-earned leave as soon as practical to avoid the risk of forfeiture. Any annual leave exceeding 252 hours on August 31, 2022, will be lost without compensation.
Annual leave is a vital benefit for maintaining physical and mental well-being. With the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, both individually and as an institution, taking time to recharge has never been more important.
Please work with your supervisors to coordinate leave requests while ensuring appropriate coverage in your units.
For more details, read the Temporary Annual Leave Policy. You can view your Annual Leave balance in MyUNM.
