University Staff must use specific leave balances by Dec. 31
The deadline for University Staff employees to use vacation carryover balances, personal holiday hours, and floating legal holidays granted for 2024 is Dec. 31, 2024. If this leave is not used by Dec. 31, 2024, it will be lost. Carried-over vacation hours that were granted in calendar year 2023 must be used or banked (if eligible) by Dec. 31. Leave balances can be found under “Time and Absence” in MyUW at my.wisc.edu. Employees who wish to verify their leave balances and the corresponding deadlines should contact their local human resources department.
As previously announced, starting Jan. 1, 2025, University Staff employees will begin the transition to receive vacation and personal holiday hours on a new leave schedule that starts on July 1 and ends on July 30.
