This is a friendly reminder to be thinking about your vacation leave balance and plan ahead prior to the end of the fiscal year. Supervisors are encouraged to support their employees’ use of their vacation leave entitlements.
Full-time University Staff and 12-month Faculty can carry up to 352 hours (44 days) of vacation leave from one fiscal year into the next. Anyone with a balance over 352 hours will lose excess hours during the annual leave sweep performed after the July payrolls. This leave sweep action does not apply to 9-month contract faculty. Classified Staff carryover hours are determined by years of service with the maximum of 336 hours. Leave rules are governed by the Colorado State Personnel Board Rules.
University Staff and Faculty can keep and carry an unlimited number of sick leave hours from year-to-year. Classified employees’ sick balances over the maximum accrual of 360 hours will be swept, per state rule 5-7.
