The deadline to use or lose leave was December 31, 2024.<\/h2>\n

Paychecks dated January 1, 2025 will reflect the 2024 annual leave balance prior to applying any caps or adjustments. Annual leave taken in 2024 must be entered by pay period ending 12\/31\/2024 to apply to the 2024 balance. Manual leave adjustments will be made on the pay period ending 1\/15\/2025 for employees who did not take their required amount of annual leave and to apply annual leave cap. The paycheck dated January 31, 2025 will reflect the annual leave balance after applying any adjustments for 2024.<\/p>\n

If any of your staff members lost leave, take this as a learning opportunity to help prevent your employee from losing leave in 2025.<\/p>\n

Supervisors of benefited employees are responsible for ensuring their employees have taken minimum required 40 hours in a year (prorated if less than 1 FTE) and<\/strong> will not have over 240 hours (prorated) in their annual leave balance. The 40 hour requirement does not apply if it is the first calendar year of their employment.<\/p>\n

How to mitigate the amount of “lost” time<\/span><\/h3>\n

Review Planned Leave<\/h4>\n

Visit with your employee at the beginning of the year to identify when they can take their required 40 hours (pro-rated for part-time employees). This will assist your department in scheduling around vacations and ensure the team is prepared for their absence. Additionally, encourage your employee to forecast their end of the year leave balance to identify how many additional hours they may have to use beyond the 40 required.\u00a0Note: forecasting does not work for hourly employees.<\/em><\/p>\n
