Vacation Accrual and Maximum carry-forward

Accrued vacation leave may be carried forward from one fiscal year to the next in accordance with the schedule below. Part-time employees may carry eligible vacation hours over at a proportional amount. For example, an employee in a 50%-effort position with less than two years of state employment will accrue four hours of vacation leave per month and may carry forward a maximum of 90 hours into the next fiscal year.

All hours of vacation leave that may not be carried forward at the end of a fiscal year will be credited to the employee’s sick leave balance on the first day of the next fiscal year. Employees are encouraged to monitor their leave balances regularly and discuss vacation time off with their supervisor in advance where possible to avoid vacation hour lapse to sick leave.
