Dear Colleagues,<b><big><big><br>
<br>
</big></big></b><big><big><small>It’s that time of year to
review your vacation balance.</small>..</big></big><br>
On December 31, 2010, employees that reach the maximum vacation
balance will forfeit any accruals that exceed the allowable limit.
Employees must use excess vacation by December 31, 2010 to ensure
vacation accruals are not lost. <br>

<b><i>Question: When do I have to reduce my vacation balance to 240
hours?</i></b><br>
<font color="#990000"><b>Answer: The maximum vacation leave balance
for
<u>employees hired before October 5, 2006 will be reduced to 240
hours on
midnight December 31, 2011 </u>as opposed to May 31, 2011.
This allows employees 6 additional months to reduce their
vacation accrual balance to
240. Therefore, everyone should plan and manage vacation time
accordingly.</b><br>
