HR-402 Vacations Q&As

Please see HR-700 for temporary enhanced leave policies to address COVID-19 situation effective 3/17/2020.

1. Are employees permitted to claim paid time off based on their daily schedule even if it results in regular pay in excess of their weekly FTE?

Employees can voluntarily elect to limit how much paid time off they claim in a week where they have worked hours beyond their regular daily schedule. However, departments cannot require employees to claim less paid time off in order to limit the amount of regular pay in a work week.

Example:

  Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri  
Regular work schedule 8 hours 8 hours 8 hours 8 hours 8 hours  
Actual Hours Worked Vacation 9 hours 9 hours 9 hours 9 hours  
Hours paid 8 hours 9 hours 9 hours 9 hours 9 hours Total = 44 hours regular pay
