Temporary Annual Leave Policy expiration reminder

Posted By: HR avatar

Published to Newsletter on Jul 27, 2022

The Temporary Annual Leave Policy increasing accrued annual leave maximums from 252 hours to 308 hours will expire on August 31, 2022. Staff are reminded to schedule and use hours exceeding 252 prior to August 31.

Employees scheduling leave to reduce their hours to the 252 maximum should take into consideration the ongoing, normal accruals of leave each pay period when calculating the amount of leave needed to be taken to get at or below the 252 max by August 31.

Because of the natural lag in reporting of leave time (i.e., August leave is reported in September), the leave balance reset will occur once all leave taken through August 31 is processed. Following are the reset timelines for the different employee pay categories:

Biweekly-Paid Employees (Non-Exempt)

  • Biweekly paid employees with leave balances exceeding 252 hours after the August 27 – September 9, 2022 pay period will have their leave balances reset to 252 hours on September 20, 2022.

Monthly Employees (Exempt)

  • Monthly paid employees with leave balances exceeding 252 hours after completion of the August 31, 2022 pay period will have their leave balances reset to 252 hours on October 5, 2022.

Monthly Post-Doc Employees

  • Monthly post-doc employees with leave balances exceeding 180 hours after completion of the August 31, 2022 pay period will have their leave balances reset to 180 hours on October 5, 2022.
