What is the maximum amount I can accrue?
Vacation leave can be accrued to a maximum of two times the annual full-time earning rate. Under some contracts a part-time employee may accumulate up to the same maximum as a full-time employee. Other contracts stipulate a pro-rated maximum accrual for part-time employees. Check your policy or contract. It is recommended that departments encourage employees to take vacation before they reach their maximum accrual. If an employee reaches the maximum and cannot schedule vacation due to operational considerations, he or she may have additional time within which to take vacation to bring his/her accruals below the maximum. Whether or not there is an additional period and the length of the additional period varies between policies/contracts. Check your policy or contract.
