As stated above, the Legislature sets the rates of vacation accrual based on length of state service, and also determines the maximum number of hours an employee may carry forward each fiscal year. An employee must complete the full years of employment to be entitled to the higher rate of vacation accrual. Length of service is calculated from your anniversary date. If your anniversary date falls on other than the first calendar day of the month, the increase in vacation leave will begin on the first calendar day of the following month. In determining length of service, only actual days, months, and years of state employment will be counted. Vacation leave hours in excess of the maximum that may be carried forward will be converted to sick leave hours on September 1 of each year. Annual leave accruals for Return-To-Work Retirees are based on retirement and rehire dates. RTW Retirees should contact the Human Resources office to determine accruals.
