As we near the end of the 2015 calendar year, University Staff employees are reminded to review their leave balances.
Vacation Carry Over
Normally, vacation time must be used within the calendar year during which it is earned. Employees may carry over any unused earned vacation into the following calendar year. Any vacation carried over from the previous calendar year must be used by December 31 of the following calendar year.
The Human Resources System (HRS) will automatically take any vacation absences entered first from carry over balances before taking from the current year’s allocations.
Compensatory Time
Compensatory time is able to be carried into the following calendar year if approved by the immediate supervisor. If carried over, unused compensatory time must be used by April 30th of the following year or it will be paid out on the pay period that includes May 1st.
Personal and Legal Holidays
Personal and Legal holiday hours may not be carried into 2016 and if not used by December 31, 2015 will be forfeited.
Annual Leave Conversion Option (Sabbatical)
Forms for all employees eligible for the Annual Leave Conversion Option are now available on the My UW System Portal, under the Time and Absence section, Statements tab. All completed forms must be submitted to HR no later than Friday, December 4, 2015.
Please contact the Payroll & Benefits office at 920-465-2390 or payrollandbenefits@uwgb.edu if you have any questions.
