Appointment Leave Information
What happens when a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday?
If a holiday falls on a Saturday, then you will receive legal holiday time to use at another time (floating holiday), much like vacation. It will show up on your earning statement under LH as part of the balance. These hours must be used by December 31st of the current year or they will be lost.
If a holiday lands on a Sunday, then it will be observed on the following Monday. The University would be closed on that Monday.
When to use your leave by:
Vacation Carryover (VC) - use by June 30th of the current year or it will be lost.
Current Year's Vacation (VN) - use by June 30th of the following year or it will be lost. In other words, you have 18 months to use VN before it is lost.
Personal Holiday (PH) - use by December 31st of the current year or it will be lost
Legal Holiday (LH) - use by December 31st of the current year or it will be lost; typically, LH is earned and used within the same pay period. If you have hours listed on your earning statement, you must use them by December 31st or they will be lost. For a list of legal holidays, please refer to the UW System site: www.uwsa.edu/hr/benefits/leave/vacation.htm .
Sick Leave (SL) - carries over from year to year
