Did You Know?

The temporary extension allowing policy-covered staff employees additional time to take vacation leave, in order to bring their vacation accrual balances below the maximum, is ending on September 30, 2021.

  • Effective October 1, 2021, employees whose balances exceed the maximum vacation accrual limit - and who have already been provided with at least an additional four months within which to take vacation leave during the temporary change approved by President Drake - will no longer accrue additional vacation hours until the balance is reduced below the maximum.
  • Example:
    • An employee has a policy maximum of 240 hours and accrues 10 hours per month
    • They have been able to accrue an additional 70 hours due to the temporary exception for a total of 310 hours
    • The employee must reduce their total hours to 230 prior to 9/30 in order for the employee to accrue the maximum accruals for September
  • Note: An employee will not lose accrued vacation hours – any hours accrued by September 30, 2021 will remain but the employee will not accrue additional hours until they are below the maximum
  • Starting October 1, 2021, the standard process to request an extension should be followed: submit an eForm requesting an extension (for up to an additional four months) for the employee to accrue above the normal maximum.
    • Section III.B.5 of the Absence from Work Policy (PPSM-2.210) describes the maximum vacation accrual limit and the extension that is allowed per policy under certain circumstances.
