Classified Employee Annual Leave Overage for FY 2001
This is a reminder that classified employees have until June 9, 2001, to use any annual leave hours over their maximum allowed accumulation. For the pay period May 27, 2001 to June 9, 2001, any annual leave hours used will be subtracted from the annual leave balance before the leave balance is reduced to the maximum allowed accumulation. The amount accrued for the pay period ending June 9, 2001, will then be added to the annual leave balance. This means the employee does not lose the annual leave hours accrued for that pay period. Annual leave overages are listed on the employee Statement of Earnings as "AO." Please notify your employees that, if the annual leave overages are not used by June 9, 2001, those hours will be lost. As an alternative, classified employees may wish to donate excess annual leave hours to a Shared Leave recipient.

Questions regarding annual leave overages and maximum accumulations should be addressed to your HR Information Management Liaison at (785) 532-6277. Questions regarding the Shared Leave Program should be addressed to Joe Younger, Benefits Administration at (785) 532-6277.

Unclassified Employee Vacation Leave Earnings
This is a reminder that unclassified employees, appointed to twelve-month positions, may earn vacation leave to a maximum of 22 days (176 hours) per fiscal year. Vacation leave is earned for the first and second biweekly pay periods during the first eleven months of the fiscal year. No vacation leave is earned on the third pay date in any month, such as March 30 and August 31 this year. Employees appointed after the beginning of the fiscal year will earn vacation leave during the twelfth month (June) as long as it does not exceed the 22 day maximum.

Also, the maximum number of accrued vacation leave days is limited to 38 (304 hours). At the time this threshold is achieved, vacation leave hours will not be earned until the 38 day balance is reduced.

Questions should be addressed to Benefits Administration, at (785) 532-6277.
