Staff Vacation Policy Carry Over
This is a reminder that effective July 1, 2016, there was a change to the staff vacation policy which reduced carry over limits from two times (2x) the annual rate of accrual to one time (1x).
This change included a two year grace period for employees hired on or before June 30, 2016. Staff were encouraged to work with their direct supervisors to plan vacation during the grace period to avoid loss of accruals.
For instructions on how to view your current vacation balance, visit “View My Pay Slip”.
