2010 Calendar Year End Leave Announcement for Regular Staff, Librarians, and 12-Month Faculty
The final pay period of the 2010 “calendar year” for leave purposes is pay period 12/29/10-1/11/11. As a result, all earned 2010 holiday and personal leave hours must be used on or before 1/11/11 or they will be lost. When planning on leave usage during the winter break (12/22/10 through 12/31/10) full time non-Facilities employees need to remember the following:
? Administrative furlough leave (AFL) should be used for 12/22. If no AFL is available, other earned leave must be used.
? Three university holidays will be given for 12/23, 12/27 and 12/28 in addition to Christmas Day and New Years Day.
? Employees must use their own earned leave for 12/29 and 12/30. As an example, if an employee begins the winter break with two floater holidays and one personal day in their leave balance, they will have to use two days during the winter break and so will have until 1/11/11 to use the remaining day of leave from 2010.
The maximum amount of annual leave that full-time regular staff, librarians, and 12-month faculty may carry over from one calendar year to the next is 50 days (400.00 hours). The 50-day carry over cut off will also be effective with the 12/29/10 – 1/11/11 pay period. Both annual leave earned and used during this pay period will be factored in prior to setting the balances back to the allowable maximum.
The maximum carryover of 400.00 hours is prorated for part-time employees based on percent employed. For example, the maximum carry over for a 50% employee (0.50 FTE) is 200.00 hours, and for an 80% employee (0.80 FTE) is 320.00 hours.
Three personal leave days (prorated for part-time employees based on percent employed) will be added to all regular staff, librarians, and 12-month faculty personal leave balances effective with pay period ending 1/25/11.
Non-exempt regular staff employees who have unused Compensatory leave hours as of 1/11/11 will be paid for those hours in their 2/2/11 paycheck.
