Timely Vacation Reporting

With vacation season upon us, please make sure you are reporting your vacation time accurately and timely. Here are some details that you may find helpful as an employee or leave approver.

Eligible employees are expected to use vacation time for rest, relaxation and other personal reasons during the year in which it is earned. A detailed explanation of vacation accrual rates, eligibility and usage is in administrative policy 6-11.7. You also can view the accrual schedule online. According to the policy, both supervisors and employees eligible to earn vacation have certain responsibilities. 

Supervisor鈥檚 Responsibilities
Supervisors are responsible for making sure that employees submit all vacation time that is taken. Supervisors do not have the authority to 鈥済ive someone the day off鈥 without reporting it as leave.

Eligible Employee鈥檚 Responsibilities

Employees are encouraged to use their vacation time, and supervisors are expected to approve reasonable requests that are made in advance.
