Vacation Leave Accrual Rates

In the payroll system, vacation leave is accrued on a daily basis to two decimal places. The amount per period can be obtained by multiplying the daily accrual rate by the number of paid work days in the period. Each employee will receive this daily accrual amount in hours (based on current FTE), unless they are in an unpaid status for that day or they have arrived at the maximum accrual of 300 hours.

The following table shows accrual rates by employee subgroup.
