Update on Vacation/Paid Time Off (PTO) Maximum Grace Period Exception

UC President Drake recently approved the request to extend the temporary increase to the four-month grace period for vacation leave/PTO accrual maximums for eligible staff, through September 30, 2021.

Effective June 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021, Policy-covered staff (PPSM-2.210) will automatically receive up to an additional 15 months (instead of up to an additional four months upon request) within which to take vacation/PTO leave in order to bring the employee’s balance below the maximum. Policy-covered staff who are close to their vacation leave/PTO accrual maximum will not have to submit individual requests and will continue to accrue for future accrual cycles above their maximum without losing hours through September 30, 2021. This policy change applies to policy-covered staff and does not apply to represented employees.
