**Important information regarding vacation carry over, compensatory time, and personal & floating holidays**
Please be advised: Employees eligible to utilize the Annual Leave Conversion Option will receive written notification of this by the end of November.
Attention Classified Employees and their Supervisors:
UW-Green Bay requires that vacation for classified employees be taken in the calendar year in which it is earned. It is UW-Green Bay’s practice to allow up to 40 hours of vacation to be carried over into the following year, if approved by the employee’s supervisor. A request to carry over more than 40 hours of vacation must be approved by Human Resources. Any vacation carried over from 2011 into 2012 must be used by June 30, 2012.
Please complete the Vacation Carry Over Request Form (http://www.uwgb.edu/hr/documents/2011ClassifiedVacationCarryOverRequestForm.pdf)
ONLY if requesting to carry over more than 40 hours of vacation into 2012.
Requests must be submitted to HR, ES 107, no later than Friday, December 9, 2011. A scanned, signed copy of the form may be e-mailed to hr@uwgb.edu in lieu of a hard copy submission.
If a new employee completes his or her original probationary period between July 1 and December 31, 2011, all vacation may be carried over (without supervisor or HR approval). However, the leave must still be used by June 30, 2012.
In-so-far as possible, all 2011 Compensatory Time earned should be used by December 30, 2011. Under exceptional circumstances, approval to carry unused compensatory time into 2012 may be granted by the immediate supervisor. All 2011 compensatory time must be used by April 30, 2012 or it will be paid.
Personal holiday hours may not be carried into 2012 and if not used by December 30, 2011 will be forfeited. Also, please remember that Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve both fall on a Saturday, resulting in two floating holidays. You must use these floating holidays by December 30, 2011 or they will be lost.
Please visit the Legal Holidays section of our website to view 2012 Legal Holiday dates.
Please contact Human Resources at x 2390 if or via e-mail at hr@uwgb.edu you have any questions or concerns.
