Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n

Over the last year, our faculty and staff have worked through especially trying times in order to support the University\u2019s mission to provide the very best education for our students, care for our patients, and service to our community.<\/p>\n

Last year, University leadership announced changes<\/a> to the Vacation Policy (#345)<\/a> so that employees could roll over one and a quarter (1.25) year\u2019s annual vacation accrual for 2021, recognizing that the pandemic made it difficult for many to take time off. During 2021, we are finding that vacation balances continue to build, with staff using fewer vacation days than in a typical year.<\/p>\n

To ensure that staff benefit from unused vacation time in what has been a unique year, the University will implement a one-time Vacation Pay-Out Program at the end of 2021. All eligible staff through Pay Grade 98 will automatically receive a pay-out of up to 60 hours of unused vacation time above 1.25 of the employee\u2019s annual vacation accrual.<\/p>\n
