The COVID-19 crisis has created interruptions in our lives, not just to celebrations but to the ways that we live our lives and care for our loved ones. In response to the impact this had on your lives, Dana Bradley, recently announced the university is temporarily enhancing the Annual Time Carryover policy. This enhancement allows all benefits-eligible staff to carry over up to 10 days of accrued but unused annual time. Additionally, the deadline to use these carryover days has been extended by two additional months. These carryover days must be used by October 31, 2020.
We still encourage you to use annual time when you are able, even under the current stay-at-home orders. While we are all dealing with the anxieties of this challenging time, taking a day off can be invaluable to your mental wellbeing.
Please note: There will be no change made to the number of days eligible for payout upon departing the university. The maximum number of accrued but unused carryover days eligible for payout remains at 5 days.
