Vacation Accrual Reminder

We have come to the end of our grace period to allow a negative vacation balance. Effective July 1, 2008, only available benefit time can be used. I am very pleased to note that employees have managed their benefit time well, with very few exceptions.

Should an employee use more vacation than has been accrued, available personal/floating/merit will be deducted. If there isn't any available time in those categories, the time used will be deducted as no pay. An e-mail will be sent to the employee and supervisor regarding the action taken.

One of the positives to the new accrual system is allowing the employee to manage their own benefit time, no use it or lose it to deal with at the end of each year. However, the employee needs to plan according to how they desire to use their vacation time.

Please think about your vacation plans for the rest of this year, and how you may need to manage your time to accommodate next year's vacation.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact Human Resources.
