Dear Colleagues,
We are writing to remind you of an important update regarding annual leave carryover that was originally communicated in August 2025.
To provide continued flexibility for employees, the College extended the temporary increase to annual leave carryover limits through the end of Fiscal Year 2027 (June 30, 2027).
What this means:
- Bargaining unit employees: May carry over annual leave balances above 360 hours through June 30, 2027, without forfeiture.
- Non-bargaining unit employees: May carry over up to 280 hours (instead of the usual 200-hour limit) through June 30, 2027, without forfeiture.
- Important: Any leave balance above the standard maximum (360/200 hours) as of July 1, 2027, will be forfeited.
Planning Ahead
While this extension provides additional flexibility, employees are encouraged to actively plan to use excess leave over the next year. Supervisors and employees should work together to develop a reasonable plan for using leave balances in a way that supports both employee well-being and operational needs.
This planning is especially important for roles with critical or time-sensitive responsibilities. For example, extended leave requests should be coordinated to avoid periods of peak operational demand.
Tracking Leave Balances
We recognize that tracking leave balances in Anthology is not as streamlined as we would like, and we are continuing to explore improvements. In the meantime, employees are encouraged to regularly review their balances and consult with their supervisor or HR if they have questions.
If you have any questions about your leave balance or need assistance with planning, please contact Human Resources.
Thank you for your attention to this important reminder and for your continued commitment to supporting both your work and well-being.
Best regards,
Dr. Kathryn Dao
Associate Vice President
Office of Human Resources
