If you cannot see your vacation balance, the most common reason is that your time was not entered or approved prior to payroll cut off.  Once your time has been entered and approved your balances will show after the next payroll.

If your vacation balance is incorrect your first step is to ensure your time was entered and approved and is current. Check with your supervisor to correct any errors.

If you took sick time before it was due to renew  but you see it taken off your new balance the most common reason is that your time was not entered or approved prior to the renewal, causing it to be deducted from the new balance.

Bi-weekly employee sick bank is renewed at the beginning of the pay period including the first day of the month.  Your renewal is based on pay period, not the calendar month.

Vacation payouts take 4 to 6 weeks following the last regular paycheck. All time has to be entered and approved for payout.

A staff member with expertise in specific areas may be asked to teach in addition to their regular job appointment. These staff members are known as LEO lecturers. LEO lecturers will have a reduction of effort to their regular job appointment and the effort will be applied to the LEO appointment. Because LEO is not a part of the accrual system, you should submit your request each term to ensure the change in effort of appointment does not result in lost accruals or a vacation payout.
