Vacation accruals over maximum expiring Oct. 1

June 29, 2021

With travel plans put on hold due to the pandemic, the vacation accrual maximum in UC’s Absence from Work policy (PPSM-2.210) was temporarily lifted last year to allow policy-covered staff more time to use their accrued vacation leave to bring their accrual below the maximum. That temporary change was extended through Sept. 30, 2021.

Starting Oct. 1, 2021, policy-covered staff who are over their maximum vacation leave accrual limit will no longer accrue additional vacation leave until they bring their vacation leave balance below their maximum. Employees can use the vacation, or, if eligible, donate it as catastrophic leave. 

For transactional users: this tip sheet on Cognos R-022 outlines how to use the report to identify employees who are currently over the max, or nearing their accrual max using Cognos and Excel.
