This is a reminder to all Non-Instructional Academic Staff & Limited Employees:  As we are nearing the end of the 2017-2018 fiscal year, you should be reviewing your vacation and holiday leave balances.  You can locate your balances on your last earnings statement on the MyUW Portal.  Please read the information below to avoid losing leave hours not used by 6/30/2018.

Personal Holiday:

  • Personal Holiday hours not used by 6/30/18 will be dropped as of 7/1/18.  They do not carry over to the next fiscal year.
