Check your time off balances

 6/15/2022

Don't forget to check your time off balances!

We are almost halfway through the year and it's a good time to look at how much vacation and sick time you have to take.

You can "carry over" up to half of your annual accrual of vacation time and up to 224 hours of sick time. Personal time can not be carried over.

[please see below for how to request vacation time off]

Vacation example:
Jane works 25 hours/week and has worked here for 7 years (40-hr/week = 120 hrs/year)
She accrues: (25/40) 0.625 * 120 (annual hours) =  75 hrs/year
Half of 75 hours = 37.5 hrs. 
Up to 37.5 hours may be "carried over" into the next year.

The Board of Trustees encourages all staff who have accrued time off to take their time off in the year it is earned. This language re: vacation time is in the current draft of the revised personnel policy and it speaks to this idea:
"The purpose of paid vacation or annual leave, is to encourage employees to renew themselves physically and mentally."

Our current leave time policy is in the personnel policy starting at the bottom of page 7. https://www.library.strathamnh.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif1291/f/uploads/personnel.pdf.
 

If you have questions about the leave time balances on your check stub, please check in with Christiane. Send her an email so that she can do a bit of investigation and get back to you. 

If your question has to do with our personnel policy, please ask me.

REQUESTING TIME OFF

In iSolved, use the "Time Off Request" (in "time card" view*) option to enter your request. This allows me to approve and be sure it gets onto the staff calendar.

You may also give me a paper form if you'd like, but it isn't necessary.
