Employees need to be aware of annual, sick leave balances

Current leave records indicate that many classified and eligible research grant employees will exceed the authorized maximum accrued annual leave accumulation on Dec. 31 unless leave is used by the end of the year.
 
In accordance with state regulations, annual leave balances for classified and eligible research grant employees will be automatically reduced to 360 hours (45 days) effective Jan. 1. This is the authorized maximum accrued annual leave accumulation that may be carried over into a new calendar year.
 
Annual leave taken by biweekly and monthly-paid employees through Dec. 31 will be deducted prior to the annual leave cutback, provided supervisors record all leave taken in Kronos prior to Jan. 9.
 
Supervisors and employees are encouraged to monitor annual leave balances throughout the entire calendar year to avoid end-of-the-year requests, which may be difficult to accommodate.
 
For information concerning leave balances, reporting of leave or calendar year cutback, call 792-2685.
