This is a friendly reminder to use your vacation leave prior to the end of the fiscal year or
\nrisk losing any hours you carry in excess of the annual carryover limit. Supervisors are
\nencouraged to support their employees\u2019 use of their vacation leave entitlements.<\/p>\n

Please click to read the full message from Carolyn Brownawell about planning ahead for leave sweeps: https:\/\/www1.ucdenver.edu\/docs\/librariesprovider188\/hr-operations\/leave-sweep-memo-2-19-2021.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

Full-time University Staff and 12-month Faculty can carry up to 352 hours (44 days) of
\nvacation leave from one fiscal year into the next. Anyone with a balance over 352 hours
\nwill lose excess hours during the annual leave sweep performed after the July payrolls.<\/p>\n

This leave sweep action does not apply to 9-month contract faculty.<\/p>\n

Classified Staff carryover hours are determined by years of service with the maximum of
\n336 hours. Leave rules are governed by the Colorado State Personnel Board Rules.
\nUniversity Staff and Faculty can keep and carry an unlimited number of sick leave hours
\nfrom year-to-year. Classified employees\u2019 sick balances over the maximum accrual of 360
\nhours will be swept, per state rule 5-7.<\/p>\n

Check Your Vacation Balance in My Leave<\/strong>
\nIf your department uses My Leave to track time, you can view your projected leave
\nbalance by logging in to the employee portal, clicking the My Leave tile and using the
\nmonth drop-down menu on the calendar page to navigate to July 2021. This will show your
\nprojected leave balance for July 1, taking into account your monthly leave accrual rate and
\nany upcoming vacation leave you have approved and scheduled within My Leave.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Use My Leave? Here\u2019s How to Check Your Balance<\/strong>
\nEmployees who use a third-party timekeeping system may have a similar tool to look
\nahead and view their projected leave balance. If not, all employees can use the Leave
\nBalances tile in the employee portal to view their current balance.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to find it:
\n1. Log in to the employee portal.
\n2. Go to the CU Resources Home dropdown menu at the top center of your screen.
\n3. Select My Info and Pay.
\n4. From that page, click on the Leave Balances tile to view your current leave
\nbalance(s).
\nUsing your current balance as a starting number, you\u2019ll need to add the leave you\u2019re set to
\naccrue by June 30 and deduct any vacation you already have requested and approved to
\nproject what your balance will be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
