Vacation/Personal Holiday Carryover Extended
November 5, 2020
Due to the disruptive effect of COVID-19 on employee’s schedules, Interim Policies were approved that allow leave eligible employees to extend carryover of unused vacation and personal holiday.
In October, an interim policy was released for University Staff employees which allows the following:
- Unused Vacation from calendar year 2019 (January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019) can be carried over for one additional year. All Vacation hours carried over under this temporary extension must be used by December 31, 2021.
- Unused Personal Holiday from calendar year 2020 (January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020) may be carried forward. All Personal Holiday hours carried over under this temporary extension must be used by December 31, 2021.
As a reminder, in April an interim policy was release for Faculty, Academic Staff and Limited Appointees which granted an extension as follows:
- Unused Vacation from fiscal year 2019 (July 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019) can be carried over for one additional year. All Vacation hours carried over under this temporary extension must be used by June 30, 2021.
- Unused Personal Holiday from fiscal year 2020 (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020) may be carried forward. All Personal Holiday hours carried over under this temporary extension must be used by June 30, 2021.
- Employees who extend vacation and/or personal holiday carry over are still required to submit monthly leave reports.
You are encouraged to plan ahead and schedule your paid leave in advance to avoid losing any vacation and/or personal holiday hours.
